Has anyone noticed Rehlko on their OEM Kohler parts?

It's been a while since the 2024 Kohler purchase by platinum equity, I'm finally seeing the new packaging on everything. Also noticing the new pricing.
The items in the picture would be a common exhaust gasket that we used to pay less than a dollar for, dealer cost is now 2.58 each.
Kohler Co is still an investment partner but I believe their main focus is going to be your sink faucets.
It my experience that "rebranding" rarely equals better quality or better price.

A little goofy to just shuffle the letters around to create a new brand.
They could have made an agreement like Corning did with Pyrex and PYREX.
Talking a customer into putting a 2.5k engine on a 5 year old z turn that costs 12k to replace is a much harder sale. The dude uses that mower to make a living to pay for all those new faucets.
