I ordered four of the mount bushings you pointed out from Mcmasters-Carr;
and they are indeed 'Barry' mounts.  It says right on'em.  However; they are
not the mounts sold in AS for $168.  There is no bonded metal in the center
groove that holds the support member, and I'm not sure what other
differences. I'm quite sure also that in the aircraft mounts the rubber is
'pre-stressed'; i.e., compressed into the metal parts before bonding.  And,
of course, they are rubber, which I believe has better energy absobing
qualities than neoprene.  But I suppose they will work.

Al, you are not planing on using these in a Lycoming type mount are you?
