Having succumbed to the dreaded "quick silver" in the past ive got alarm bells ringing here!!!
But seriously, pinks and purple/mauves can be tricky to determine the manufacturer of. It pays to have a sample tube of each lying around, pumped and unpumped. I recently replaced a tube that under the UV lamp was a dead ringer for Neon Prod 1505 pink. Once pumped and in place it was clear that it wasnt that at all.
Technolux do have a lovely strong pink, the name of which eludes me at the moment, but their Rose pink is weaker than the EGL Coral. If your in good favour with your suppliers, theyll quite readily bring a sample to you to compare. Good luck!
