Is it just the photo quality or does the upper gun have a sort of boomerang shaped checkering?

Nah, the photo is messed up!
It's a Westley Richards ejector box lock and as such has checkering of your usual Westley Richards quality!

I have to take a better picture of it

You get dinged for any extras duties or tariffs? Or just straight exchange and shipping costs?

You can buy the Tourbon brand cases on Amazon. They are a little over $400 CDN.

I've been looking online at UK businesses selling gun cases and Carl Russell has many nice cases some labeled by high end makers. Good pics, descriptions etc.

I bought one of their soft leg of mutton style cases from Amazon and returned it. The barrel sleeve was open on both ends so that the barrel muzzles and lugs were scratching the receiver or stock
Those you posted look good

Everything I have seen from Tourbon including cases and leather slip on pads has been a quality level I don't find acceptable. And for reference I have been more than happy with cases from Jeff's/Venatti.

The quality was definitely there. It was the design. The barrel section instead of being a sleeve was essentially a 20" flap sewn over. Kinda like the single big pocket on a pull over sweater thats open on both ends. Fine for a baikal but for my nicer guns I wanted protection not metal on metal or metal on wood. The material and workmanship was great

Interesting because that is completely different than what I have seen. Now the last I looked at something from Tourbon was probably pre Covid so maybe they have upgraded.
