At least in Chapuis' actual catalog the "brouse" and "utility grade" are not the same gun. "Utility grade" express, or UGEX, is their classic redesign of the SxS double rifle (Orion is their O/U) that they came out with way back in the 1970s. It is chambered in the classic european metric cartridges: 7x65r, 8x57jrs, 9.3x74r, and 30r blaser (well I wouldn't call the 30 blaser classic

). The brouse is their basic model african SxS double rifle in 470, 375, 416. Their are diffecenes (folding leaves, lateral reienforcements on the action, recoil pad, etc). The higher level versions of the african rifle are the Jungle and Savane models. As was mentioned earlier the "PH" is Chaddicks.

Now as many have said before, Chaddicks did "change" and rename the Chapuis offerings when they sold them over here (look at how they used to limit the shotgun offerings to a standard model, when Chapuis come with many options), so maybe they marketed the UGEX as a brouse or vice-versas.
