That's common in the Highland pipe world, where a current maker will acquire rights to the name of a long-dead maker, and start stamping that name or their entirely different modern pipes.
On the other hand Nicol Bros sporrans had a distinctive look to them, and I haven't noticed MM using the old Nicol Bros designs either.
I'll have to give a closer look at the MM site.
MM does a lot of hire work where the name of the requestor is stamped on their work. My goat hair sporran, made by MM, was branded House of Labhran.
