When I ordered the pump from J C Whitless, it was a Facet when I got it. I
ran it for three years in my Midget before I sold the car. No problems.
I needed a pump quickly for the Lotus, so I bought a Facet locally for a
good bit more money than the J C Whitless price. It has also worked just
fine.
When my mechanic friend wore out one MGB body and built a new MGB for
autocross, he transferred the Facet pump to the new body. Only time in
decades he ever put a wrench to the pump.

The TR4 has a mechanical fuel pump, and I see no reason to tamper with it...
