That MK Rapid Fix socket thing

First time I've seen these and I'm intrigued...

Are the MK version the only type out there?
Do they only come in white?
Is it only sockets that are available? What about spurs?
Do they have test points?

No idea about other manufacturers, but to the best of my knowledge MK so far only offer K2747 with lever connectors and only white moulded. They do have test points.

Managed to grab 10 of these on ebay yesterday for £3.70 a piece and should soon be able to form an opinion about them.

Only aware of white double sockets, no single sockets or spurs etc.
Test points, yes, though a little care is needed as the N test point is above the Live connections and the L test point is above the N connections!

Surely these don't only come in white? Searching but can't find any other option or a fused spur. They might be more popular if there was a better range.
