Square (100mm) didymium filter

I have a circular Tiffen didymium filter. Generally it has almost no effect, but during fall it has quite a useful effect. Also it's very useful for astrophotography.
I want a square one, though, because it's more versatile. Also the Tiffen filter is uncoated. Who manufactures square didymium filters?
Breakthrough
has one
, but it's on backorder.
Tiffen
used to have one
, but no longer.
Anyone else?

Is the NiSi one truly Didymium glass? I've heard conflicting reports.

I have another from a random Chinese manufacturer that seems to behave much like the Nisi. I got it because the lens I wanted to use it on was the Laowa 9mm for FujiX and the square filters system caused vignettes. In taking images at night I see very much the same effect from both filters. I did not test the spectrum of both but did test the Nisi, and here is the result:

There is a big notch in the spectrum around the sodium vapor light spectrum. So it is blocking mostly yellows.

As a side note in general I avoid Tiffen filters, and this is my own bias. I have had too many experiences with poor filter quality or color casts that I just avoid them in general.
