S 4BO 955 425 (with aerofoil or whatever it;s called)
4AO 955 425B

Thanks
I can't check the numbers for you Jim, but at that price you had to buy the whole assembaly (with aerofoil), now you have the OEM blades next time you need to change them you can replace just the rubbers at around £8

In this photo you can see one of the metal strips that hold the rubber in place, (there is one each side), you remove these and side rubber out as in second photo.
