I found the grey Murgen shoes (Part# H0765) and the Red Murgen Shoes (Part# H0769) at my LHS. The grey ones are AU$14.90 and the red ones are AU$49.99!!!!!
Damned if I can find either on line for the right price so I got a grey set to try out.
Yes they are different. I actually have 2 of the Delta shoes and the pin locations and the angle of the shoe is different to the Mugen ones. They basically are made from the same material however, Rulon. The R40 one is absolutely ballistic it makes the car have incredible punch. You can email order them from Delta.
The Grey ones work nicely, but have less punch than the Red shoes, but to get it to slide on the pins properly you will need to ream the holes a bit. I posted a picture of this a few months ago.
If you are running your car at Brendale you should definately get the red ones, the cost me around AUD$15 from Delta. Most other local tracks will be fine with the grey shoes.
