I am trying to identify a pair of inherited cotoneasters.

After some 15 years and only an annual trim to cut back straggling
stems they are now very compact mounds 30 inches across and 18 inches
tall.
Attractive but not profuse, short lived white, five petalled flowers
in June. Berries not held.
Definitely a foliage plant, rather than grown for flowers or berries.
Strongly evergreen, small shiny leaves, just over 0.5 inches long.
Remains dark shiny green all year round.

A sample taken to a local garden centre (which was responsible for
planting up the garden), was confidently identified as C.dammeri. -
That, it is not.

A Google search suggests that Cotoneaster x suecicus might be a
possibility but I can't find that one's growing habit.

Experts please, any suggestions that I can follow up?
Or, better, a positive identification. :-))
Thanks.
