I'd like a new faceplate, is the NTE5c Mk4 to be installed by Openreach only?

Interestingly one of his images shows the backplate taken off the MK4 front plate bit, looks well made.

The SSFP (filter) is perfectly well made but the master socket components are not.
This YouTube video shows the issue rather well -

Yeah that's what I've seen about on the net, blue and clear although there's also been reference to a red camlock.
This is suppose to be one of the 'good ones' on ebay, the last two images clearly show clear type camlocks /also mentioned in the description as a new design...

i'd be dubious about buying anything from anyone that can't spell "picture", and get it wrong on every pucture :)

Seen that video although it's based on the older plate back in 2016 (see video date) that had the issues /and the mentioned blue/red camlocks, can't believe they'd use such a poor design to connect internal components.
Now I wonder what the newer type nte5c's with the clear camlocks are like at the component level, anyone seen images of this?

Yes, they are identical. The only changes are the ones already documented.

He sold a lot of them though...
