NOS UK Wilkinson Sword blades

I just saw these for sale at West Coast Shaving when I was buying another packet of Gillette Minoras (which I thoroughly recommend):

I know that the English Wilkinsons are considered better than the current ones made in Germany (which I don't like at all), but there were many different versions and I was wondering how they measure up? I understand these ceased production around 2000.
 
I bought some of them from a chemist in London a few months ago; I had more or less got the impression they were Indian, but tbh I struggle to make head or tail of the different Wilkinson blades.

I thought they were ok, but not anything special; I prefer the Boots/ Tesco/ Morrisons IPs.
