If you ask for Hardox you will get Hardox 400 or an equivalent brand.
Hardox is a Swedish Steel brand, there are other mills.
Hardox 500 is a hard wear plate which can be drilled with the wright drill bits and welded. 400 is lower carbon and I use it on frame work as its 3 times stronger than mild steel and keeps a very good hole. 450 is often used on dumper bodies or buckets as it is less prone to weld crack than 500.
Hardox 600 and Hardox Extreme are similar to 500 but have extra heat treatment.
I would try Collin at Steel Pro. He is a Hardox agent and supplies bolt on or weldable cutting edges.

If you can get hardox,it would be worth it,there are a lot of pre shaped cutting edges about for sale,but they are soft,no advantage over using heavy plate apart from the time saved in cutting the bevel.

We got ours from Walter Watson at Dundonald. Probably your best bet for SW Scotland.
