It's all to do with restrictions on weapon manufacture after the second world war.

The Diana equipment was snapped up by Millard Brothers (Milbro), I believe, and re-branded as Original.

Many thanks
I've done more research (you can really use the hours up) now and I'm beginning to get some of the old info back, some really great info to be found too. Both are confirmed as one and the same.

Best cheers
