Does anyone know any way to tell if there are differences in parts between UK and USA spec? Specifically for seatbelt buckles? I lost the rear screen in my car during storm Doris and the repair company and insurers dealing with it want to replace the rear buckles due to the amount of glass in them. So far 7 weeks later they still don't have the parts and whilst I can have the car back, they have asked me not to use the rear seats which ruins using the car at weekends for the 3 of us in the family.
The repair company updated me on Friday that Ford UK have advised them the parts won't be remade for another 8 weeks and will likely be 10-16 weeks total before they can get them. If they are the same as US parts I assume I could get some shipped direct over from any dealer in the U.S or Fordparts.com and save myself a lot of time as they must have thousands of them over there.
I have found the part listed as part <60044 at the almighty cost of $12.23 each.

I hope to get reimbursed for cost by repair company but honestly just want full use of car back at this point so spending £50 getting 2 shipped over isn't a big deal.
My main concern is that US buckles may not be marked properly for UK spec? Are there differences? Ford Customer Services were no helping in answering those questions as I did try.
