Thats what it looks like but not obvious from the picture.

Might have to see what's going on behind the chrome cover.

First glimpse I thought same.
But Mira usually had some name on them.
Maybe an old Triton?

Supposed to be looking tomorrow afternoon, will update. If tiles are ok behind chrome and 150 pipe centres might be able to use a standard exposed unit.

Not sure the more I look at it.
Does look familiar though.
The blue/green colour of the lettering looks similar to Newteam
I would replace it all

Newteam is now Bristan I believe.

I’ve also seen that shower before but cannot for the life of me remember where.

Went to have a look this afternoon. No brand found anywhere. 135mm pipe centres. Bristan Sonique should be a good replacement.

Will need to use chrome shrouds where the pipes enter.

That Bristan Sonique looks blummin handy, 110-155 centres, nice

As Best said it looks like the NewTeam version of a Bristan shower.
It would be very old now, probably 18+ years but if you want an SK1850-2 replaces the complete cartridge and would get it working like new again.

Thanks for that info.

Very handy.

Send a picture to shower doctor they may be able to help.

Just fitted 2x Soniques
The riser kit is a bit flimsy
If I had more time I would have liked to try removing the flow restrictor to see if it performed better
