Yes, I believe the only model not sold in the UK is the folding rigid cuff due to ownership of the design by Hiatt -> Safariland.

It is remarkable that the keyholes are located on different sides of the lock-case. The first one where the bow enters the case and the second one where the bow leaves the case. Regarding the inner mechanism I presume this will lead to inappropriate lever action in spite of the additional pivot in the center.

The shorter radius means a bigger arc has to be traveled for the locking paws which I think will create excessive wear on the paws and the teeth on the bow of the cuff. If using the same spring force will cause more wear, lessor spring for will help but make the cuffs more vulnerable.
