I'm stupid - can someone identify this guide?

The older I get the dumber I get. I thought Karen had sent me the wrong CLAG guides until I went out into the garage and looked at my other rods I had built. Then I couldn't figure out where I got the ones I was trying to use - then I realized that GLoomis sent them to me. They're suppose to be "Fuji Concept" guides but they're definately not CLAGs. I'll try to contact GLoomis but you guys could probably be quicker. Below is a picture of the 8mm guide that came off my GLoomis GL2 STR-1025S spinning rod. There looks like an E stamped on the stem between the foot and the ring. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That looks like a B to me "Batson"??? It has an angled foot and is a little higher that the Fuji, which I like

Another photo angle would help a lot.

Looks like a "B" to me as well.

Fuji Aluminium Oxide...........I just reapired a GL2 and they were model OG8. It matched perfectly to the photo in the Fuji catalog.
