They are the same item. I looked at both.
Aussie Disposals and Anaconda were throwing in heaps of freebies with the purchase (ARB didn't). For ther RRP, (admittedly it was around the time of the Caravan & Camping Show) I ended up with an engel thermometer, 240 volt inverter, a bunch of internals for the fridge (plastic cases, baskets and dividers etc), and the dedicated engel cover). Works a treat, and very happy.
I've nothing against ARB, but they didn't offer this stuff. Economics really. I also got a very large soft cargo bag that swallows 4 sleeping bags, 3 double blow up mattresses and a 2 man tent. Perfect for the roofrack. It pays to
shop a round a little and don't be afraid to play one retailer off against the other to get the deal you want, if you have the time and inclination fo course.
Cheers

I almost bought the ARB branded one - but the ARB salesman tlkaed me out of it - if there is a problem with the fridge it has to be returned to ARB (of which there arent a lot of in remote parts of Aust) but the Engel branded one can be taken to any Engel servic centre (of which there are heaps around Aust....)
