Oil filters

Went to my local auto parts store today to get an oil filter for my '00 9-5 (6,000 miles). I started looking through the various "premium" filters costing $6-$9. Then I noticed the el cheapo ACDelco Duraguard filters, found the type for the 9-5 (type PF53, part # 25011520, cost $2.99, Made in England) and looked inside the box. To my surprize it looked identical to the OEM SAAB Long Life filter - same blue color etc. except for the name and lettering. I took the Delco filter home and compared it side-by-side with the SAAB filter. I cannot see any difference inside or out. Even the tack welds are in identical locations.
Does anyone know if SAAB and ACDelco are using the same British supplier?
My guess is that the ACDelco filter cost me about 1/4 that of a SAAB filter.
