For a given model and year, they're the same instrument. B&H was primarily marketed in the UK, with Besson for the rest of the world. But they came off the same production line and differed only in the labeling.

Yes, all of the above, and also out of the two models you mention, the 968 has a smaller bell.

Good luck.
