Is this a motherlode knot?

New to wet shaving, and just read motherlode knots are amongst the softest and most dense synthetics.
I still have not foud any brush with this kind of knot.
Or have I? I was browsing aliexpress, and found this one, that looks like a motherlode knot, different from brown and synbad, I believe. Can anybody confirm this?

2nd is motherlode.
I would suggest to buy from Oumo Brush asking them to set the knot deep, either 26x48mm or 28x50mm, otherwise is a bit too floppy, unless you like it that way.
Yaqi doesn't offer this kind of customization.

Thank you very much.. Most useful recommendation😁😁
 
Already ordered the oumo. Asked them to correct the knot to 26x48mm
Not only do they have the customization option, but also this one is pleasant to look.

I don't think the 2nd one is motherlode knot. It's the mink knot from Yaqi but I believe the motherlode knot comes from Oumo.

It's the softest knot out there but it has no backbone. It performs great and I enjoy it a lot.
