Yes, it should be no surprise that one of the  manufacturers I had in
mind was actually Hahnemuehle, and there are many examples of
"needless"  confusion caused by marketing these under different names.
 (At least from the customer point of view.)  I am moderately
convinced there are a a least a few other examples, but I am not
sufficiently sure to spread rumours.
