Well thats interesting? Anyway. I rang SMP about the genuine bearings, they even tried overseas but couldnt get them. They had similar part numbers in their system but not the same.
I just used double row, self aligning bearings (same thing as the genuine ones) with a bigger OD. Standard sizes are going to cost you 1/4 the price of genuine gay sizes thus easier/cheaper to replace. Oh yes, this is only for 3 of the bearings.. the other is a cylindrical roller, which I replaced with a single row ball with c3 clearance. Doesnt seem any need for a cylindrical roller as there is little/no radial load.
The machining cost me bugger all, but being in the right industry helps!
