OEM = flavor of the month? Who makes the OEM Rear Main Seal?

So, I've noticed that the brand of parts Volvo dealers carry aren't consistent. In other words Volvo dealerships seem to have different OEM manufacturers every so often.
Should I bother to shell out the dealer prices for "OEM" when it's changed from the original OEM? Is it just another brand on a Dealer's shelf?

I want to buy a new Rear Main seal and a few others, and I want them to be OEM Volvo, but I'm not the only person who's noticed volvo parts from dealers come in bags marked from different manufacturers.

Who makes the real OEM rear main seal?

Shoot. I meant to post this in the RWD/700 section. I'm talking about for my 93 940T engine, which is going into my 90 740T. It's a B230FT L block engine.

Happy bricking!
