CNO Cars is another Chinese manufacturer of rebuilt ABC struts. I never heard of anyone who used any of these struts, so its difficult to know whether they're reliable. I think there are a handful of companies in the UK and US who import and re-sell these struts at a high mark-up.
Mercedes recommend replacing faulty ABC struts individually, rather than in pairs (the usual approach with dampers). This is what I've done, successfully.
In the case of these rebuilt struts though, which may not match OEM units, I think it would make sense to buy them in pairs. If damper pairs are not very closely matched, it does bad things to the ride and handling.
