Default Shower trap terminology help please

Looking for a new trap for a shower tray with a 50mm diameter waste and
90mm clearance underneath, and am a little confused€¦

For example:
https://mcalpineplumbing.com/traps/s...mm-shower-trap
- I assume that "water seal" is the distance from the top of the waste
to where a seal is created. In that correct?
- What does the 90mm stand for? The diameter of the tray's waste? The
technical drawings at the bottom of the page has no reference to 90mm
- Would it fit into a 50mm waste hole? Again, no reference in the drawing.

Or this one:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-...ect-70mm/47945

Would it fit into a 50mm waste hole? I did notice that some traps are
for 50mm and some are for 52mm holes (2" I assume).

Just buy the likely candidates (Screwfix, toolsatan) & return the
ones you don't like/use?
