Thanks Helena and Tsuwm, I'm much happier now!
I think that the restaurant stuff is fairly similar, Hobart is a common brand name - I think especially for their steam oven. Although I used to do the accounts for a small cafe when I worked in an Arts Centre, we didn't need any new equipment while I was there, so I never had reason to look through the suppliers catalogues.
I was interested to see the word range used for a cooker. We would only call something like an AGA (yes, they cost £3,000 new plus the re-inforced floor, so not for everyone, except in Joanna Trollope books) a range, although they now make double width electric and gas cookers and call the ranges (I suspect because it sounds more up-market). My grandmother called a cooker a stove, so it always makes me think of something from the 1950s. There is a cooker company called Stoves which is doing quite well at the moment, making ranges. Apart from that, the ranges and stoves shown don't look too dissimilar.
