But they are marked Golston not Duracell, how can anyone be confused?
Supermarket shelves are packed with cheap products with brandings that
are heavily "inspired" by the market leaders.

the one designed to confuse is "Eveready".


How so?

because Ever Ready is not the same as EveReady. I first came across the
name in a Japanese tranny in 1963 - which doesn't fit with your timeline.

Ever Ready and Eveready are one and the same.

One company that split into two companies (US and British) and is now one
company again.

Can't see why that wouldn't "fit" with the timeline.
