Glad there's a happy ending. I've replaced both rear clips, one was made in Czech Republic 12.5 2015 the other in France 24.07.2017. While it stated "expire date - none" we all know plastic does age so happy to get fresh ones. And the price was similar to your £1.50. No other details of manufacturer.
No explanation why your dealer had them on back order, I believe these clips are used in other VWs besides the Octavia. I had no problem getting them, but at that time my daughter worked for VW.
Regards
