I was able to reach out to Gearmate via email and order the Reduced Height Single Drawer (210mm) system with an international wire transfer. They shipped FedEx direct from the UK to the US. The folks at Gearmate were great to work with.
The installation process was easy but regrettably they provided m8x30 bolts to mount into the utility rails holes, which bottom out in 4 of the 6 holes. I had to go to the hardware store to pickup m8x20 bolts which is the size INEOS supplies with the rails. Not sure if this was a change INEOS made at some point in production, or a mistake on Gearmate. In either case m8x20 work great and should be supplied.
The differences between this and the OEM one:
When I first installed the drawer it appeared to be taller than the seats, but when I checked it with the level I discovered the drawer is level with the seats, but the seats themselves aren’t actually flat.

The differences between this and the OEM one:
- This version of the drawer system has a slightly different latch to access the jack, which I prefer as it is easier to shift cargo to access than the OEM version which opens to the front
- This version has built in rails up top.
- This version uses a diamond plate pattern rubber top, OEM is circles.
- This version does not come with a gap filler flap like the OEM one does.
- This version has two locking latches.
