Thanks everyone, I got the new part from ECP and they refunded my core charge the next day in the branch - so worked out about £190.

The new caliper and EPB assembly looks beautiful and new, interestingly, it pulls more amps during operation (~2.5 vs ~1.5A) and operates a bit slower than the other side.
I suppose it's tight and must need running in. The new one looks brand new, not refurbished. I'm going to change the rubber brake hoses too as I strained the one on that side a bit as I didn't know it needed disconnecting from the inboard side before unscrewing off the caliper and don't trust it's integrity.
