The page names the exact model, so it is MTBF and not MTTF. It lists 3500 MB/s read and 3150 MB/s write, so it is the China-market listing. The global store and Amazon pages state no MTBF.

ITHome articles 0/678/135 and 0/683/594 repeat the same line. The same copy claims Yangtze Memory flash and 3500/3150 MB/s, which conflict with the global pages and the iXBT teardown chip markings, so no flash maker is stored.
