Does anyone here know if it's possible to grow the small Maine
blueberries in the UK? Can anyone tell me the variety name/s?

Tons of information on Maine blueberries from the University of Maine
Extension at http://www.wildblueberries.maine.edu/

Blueberries in general, and the typical wild Maine blueberry,
Vaccinium angustifolium, do well in pretty much the same conditions as
azaleas and rhododendrons (to which they are related). If you have (or
can make) acid soil (pH 6 or better yet 5.5 or lower) in a sunny,
sheltered spot, they are at least a good risk.

V. angustifolium is also grown in Sweden, where there are hybridizers
working with it, but I don't know of any UK sources.
