Aftermarket A/C

Hi All,
Prompted by a question to me on a separate thread, I thought I’d start this one regarding aftermarket A/C.
Anyone recognise it or have something similar?
No details in the history file of who manufactured the kit on my 993, or who installed it.
I have emailed Clayton Classics who do provide and install a kit for 993s, tentatively they have said it may be one of theirs, but would need to inspect it.

At first glance it looks like a regular system, but was picked up on the pre purchase inspection.
My Climate Control unit is the non-a/c version, the a/c is operated via a small on/off button on the transmission tunnel.
The compressor is by Sanden.
Most parts appear to be Porsche or OEM copy, but the pipe work looks a bit rustic.
It’s non functioning and requires servicing (I’ve asked for recommendations elsewhere on the site, but still on the to-do list).

I’m quite tempted to replace with standard pipe work and compressor with Porsche standard parts - it bugs me a little that it doesn’t look correct. On the other hand, it is a modification it’s not part of the original spec, and I should live with it, functioning A/C should be my concern rather than aesthetics!
 
Photos - not sure why the final one is upside down!

If it works then I would live with it, to replace with Porsche parts would be about £5K I would think
