Default US source for MLS head gasket

Has anyone (looking especially at Pinzgauer owners) purchased parts in the past from this company?
https://swissarmyvehicles.com/pinzdiesel/engine

Their diesel parts section lists many parts that are normally hard to find for D24T (especially engine gaskets and fuel system parts). Most noteworthy of all is that they appear to list two thicknesses of MLS head gasket which have been all but impossible to source in the US for some years ever since Volvo made them NLA to the dealers.

Both photos show a two-hole gasket though, which suggests the product could be different than the picture. Maybe even would not be a metal gasket in that case.

I might give them a call to ask what they actually have on the shelf, but if these are correct MLS gaskets then that is exciting news.

This site also shows new turbos, injection pumps, water pumps, etc.

Despite the fact that there were many orders of magnitude more Volvo diesels produced over time than Pinzgauers and LTs, the desirability of the "adventure" trucks today might mean that us Volvo owners have to turn to them for parts more and more going forward, rather than the other way around.
