When I asked at the local photo store they said it was the same stuff--
just that the Rapid Fixer was called Hypam everywhere but the U.S and in
an effort to simplify they changed the name here to match the rest of the
world. There was a short period of time where Rapid Fix went from 5
litres to 4 litres then back again. So check the volume of the containers
carefully.
I've used hardener with both.
