The pad is a branded Aprilaire replacement pad. I've been using off-brand for years, this is actually the first time I've even had a branded pad since it was new.
The bracket was 100% identical to the bracket I replaced. I didn't really need to do so, but the old one was funky with deposits on it so I figured I didn't need it anymore.
The main draw here, for me at least, is the tray. The tray that came installed with my unit had nothing in its base to guide the water to distribute evenly. It was just smooth plastic. But the tray that came in this package has a pad across the bottom with grooves that I assume are meant to help with that even distribution. With my old tray, the water always seemed to pool on the left side (I think the unit isn't 100% level) and occasionally spill over the top. So far, this new tray seems to work much better.
I could not possibly tell you if these parts are all Aprilaire OEM parts, nothing came in a branded box but the humidifier pad. But every piece seems to be of identical quality and construction. The only difference is the tray. If this tray is an OEM Aprilaire product, then I would love to know what was used in my original install. Regardless, the tray is great!

Fit perfectly and was an easy replacement. I also found a video online that showed step by step instructions. Piece of cake.
