I've a retro fitted vernier isolastic set up on my 1972 Commando and the front rubbers have a split.
They look like they "may" have split because they are a tight fit to the frame, but they are 12 years old so I'm not certain.
Looking at replacements I'm not sure if I need the MK111 type as they were verniers or the pre Mk111.
Any clues.
TIA.

i don't like to run the rubber boots as they collect and hold water.

True , you can have a spray can of Teflon PTFE lube handy and give a little shot now and then to clear the road dust out and provide better lubrication than grease IMO.

Worth the extra effort to put them on. The ones I got from AN last year had an extra fold, were softer, and fit tightly.

According to the RGM parts list for the pre-Mk3 front vernier kit, the gaiters are 064674 (1 pair) which are Mk3.
