Yes I found this one by Googling the P/N you can find the BP catalog and install manual for this carrier, I was concerned about the maker but D90mitch seems to have no problems with it so at £120 including VAT and shipping I am going to give it a go, some of the others are crazy prices, in my old job could have knocked one off on the afternoon shift when the boss went home, but that's progress for you.

Fitted it yesterday and it seems ok except for one detail, the brackets are mounted slightly too far apart so the frame hangs in the top one but is a struggle to push into the bottom one (left all bolts loose until it was mounted) now the weight is only on the top bracket as there is a gap between the nylon bush and the bottom bracket. This may be due to my vehicle so I will take the bracket off and slot the holes to make it fit better.
In general it seems fine, time will tell.
