How to Tell Difference Between H-Fact and Noob Rubber strap?

What are the visible/noticable differences between the two styles?

First, Ryan/InTime only has relationship with Noob factory correct?
So that means a Rubber strap attached to watch from him is going to be a Noob strap?

By process of elimination, this one I ordered also:

Is H-Factory then??

Because I have both, and they are clearly different. Additionally, I was always under impression that Noob's strap was softer, more comfortable, and more pliable/bendable. If what I believe about their source is true, then in my eyes that is NOT correct.
The H-Fact one is definitely thinner, and wears better. It is not as stiff either. I can see a difference on SIDE of strap where the seams/mold meets up (the pressed line is in a different location on each strap.)
Thanks for helping

I recently purchased a PAM328 from Ryan and as far as I know, noob does not produce the 328.
