I bought my kit from Sweden, same as sold on Davidsilver and eBay Germany.
Name on package:  SSH750
Another seller has JMT435.
It seems to be shipping issues to USA on those sites
I plan to order soon.

I remember always(25 years ago)ordering 'Parts Plus' tapered roller bearing kits in the light green box,Made in Japan quality using the SSH_ _ _number designation.I've installed a fair number of these kits.
I like them better than All Balls.

I have still been able to find these Parts Plus tapered steering bearing kits NOS occasionally on Ebay,etc.

I just grabbed a set of those :-), I bet that is what I used in the 1990's on my K2.

Also note that Yamiya sells a very nice kit that includes the one correct lower spacer and a top bearing that fits the serrated casting inside the threaded adjuster nut.  The bearing boxes have no manufacturer name in english alphabet, so no idea on bearing quality. They seemed fine.  I used it on a K4 with stock fork ears and everything just fits up nice as can be, no questions, no fiddling.
