Well, the Land Rover part arrived and I fitted it today. The part number and manufacturer's stamp on the back of the bellows are identical (see photo). And it all seems to work fine.
The only teeny snag was that the tube on the back that attaches to the vacuum pipe didn't line up properly with the mounting bracket hole, but there doesn't seem any reason that it has to.
The Land Rover part, with postage and VAT, was about £100, so a much better option that the Audi parts ot the Chinese copies.
