I think there's one company in Taiwan pumping these sets out for several brands. The non truck brand versions are quite wide though.
I noticed a set of Husky brand on the rack in HD today. Not sure if that's available to you. I have the Capri set in SAE and the fit is pretty bad in my opinion. Low torque tool, I know. But shoddy tolerances aren't excusable because of that.

I have both the Olsa set and a Capri set. Both are fine for what they are. Not for high torque applications.
These two sets are identical.

I have the metric Facom set. They work fine, but I wouldn't pay any extra for them vs Olsa or similar.
619Dio is right. Search for Tappet Wrenches. Easier to find that way.

I have a Matco set (probably Vim), they have held up pretty well for what they are and can take quite a bit of torque actually.

If you're in Canada I have the older version of this set (I think): https://www.princessauto.com/14-pc-sae-extra-long-combination-wrench-set/product/PA0008659187 the description includes the thickness to ease the choice. I purchased these for hydraulic fittings, as standard wrenches, many times don't fit. Harry

Totally different sets if you click on the links and read the descriptions

Check the pic. The top wrench is the Olsa Tools wrench. The lower wrench is the Capri Tools wrench. They are identical.

Their is a set at Harbor freight that is on the thin side.
I bought one Capri long form wrench for a specific task and it too has/had absolutely garbage fit. Turned me off the brand completely.

Yeah I get that the wrenches may be made in the same factory, but your post says "these two sets are identical". They are not. They contain different quantities and sizes of wrenches.
