One important difference is that the transfer console unit does not have an input control (the level was handled by a separate part of the desk), whereas the recording console limiter does (the Input gain control of the desk).
The transformers in all these units were made by EMI themselves. Since they (EMI) are no longer in the electronics manufacturing business, there's no way you're going to get originals anymore, so you'll have to be satisfied with replicas. How good these replicas are will depend on the skill of the manufacturer, and the spec they are given to work to.
