Default Rear Subframe to body mount bushes/polybushes

Hi, I have spent some time looking but am unable to find the answer to my question. I am not sure if this is the right place for this, if not can a mod please move or advise?

My car is a 1996 classic wrx sti, jap import. There is a knocking from the back which I believe is the rear subframe mounts. The bushes look perished and when I jack the car up they dont sit flush against the car - there is a small gap.
I obviously wish to change them, and I am not bothered wether they are standard rubber bushes or polyflex bushes but I am struggling to find any...
There is a company on ebay - flo flex I believe - that do a set, and for good money, but the chap there says they wont fit an import.
Is the import rear sub frame different? I Dont see that would be something they would change?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Bump. Anyone got any info? :-/

I don't want to be one of those naggers, I just dont want to splash out on something that isn't going to fit!

Subframe should be the same, regardless of UK or JDM.

Thats what I thought, but when I suggested that to the guy on ebay he said I am welcome to buy them but there would be no refund for buying them in error

Its the 4 in the corners like these:
