Yes, I checked after I posted and it's top to bottom. Which is nice.

The plastic case they came in was undamaged and sealed, so it's very likely it came from SD like it. I think one cover wasn't fitting properly so someone tried to force it on and damaged it. But it should have been picked up in QC. Or maybe they thought that as it was going overseas it didn't matter.
Geez Simon you don't expect that happen. Sucks mate! did you have to wait long for them?
Not at the time, but I expect replacements might be as these models seem rare in the UK. At least I now know the dimensions (basically it's an imperial closest fit of 1.5" x 3.5") so I now need to pluck up the courage to rout out cavities for them. As I'm a novice to all this routing business. This is the bit I'm dreading, especially as it's not a flat top. Some jig required. I will have to practice a lot before doing it in anger.
Now heard back from the store and a replacement set is being arranged.
