How about this fitting ?

That is push fit the other is compression. Different beast altogether.

Different version but this is correct

Jon , your fitting is a polypipe with what looks like a speedfit as the actual pipe .

Just had a thought, maybe someone has swapped the rings round on purpose, those score marks look like what could be made if the grab ring was removed physically..... just saying like😉

Where’s the whistling emoji, when you need one?

The old Hepworth grey fittings with metal grab ring had the O ring on the water side in the demountable Hep fittings and the opposite on the slimmer non demountable fittings.
Even I know that and I don’t use plastic rubbish 🙂

I had a leak coming out from this reducing tee just after a month after installation.

You'll be wanting to replace/rework every joint made as part of that installation then. If one is like this, it's a sure thing that there will be others 🙁

I must say I've taken apart fittings that old (under a caravan that was going to be scrapped and needed zero-budget work done), bent the metal grab rings to about the right shap, and reassembled using modern Hep pipe and it held (at around 5 bar) until the caravan was scrapped a year later. (No, this wasn't a paid job, in case you're wondering.)
