Not sure of the make / model - but is it likely that I will be able to
obtain new rubber seals for the guttering joints?

Maybe, but silicone is your friend. It make custom fitted gaskets to
anything.

Trouble is guttering needs to move to take up expansion/contraction
due to temperature changes. Wouldn't silicone prevent that movement?

We aren't talking little movements either but an 1" or so over a 3M
length of guttering.

If you grease one side, then the silicone sets but does not adhere to
that side.

Having be plagues by this for years IME none of these sealers , silicone
or otherwise ar much cop. Best replace the rubber seals. They can ve
hard to find as presumably half the country is looking for them as they
fail so easily
