Do you have a patent number for this other design?

I have no way of knowing the patent numbers.
From what I've read, the LN "solution" was not available until 2013. But, if it was available in 2008, as you say, why didn't some of those who posted in 2012, including Charles Navarro himself (yes, he posted in that thread) tell him that it's already been done? And you posted there too.
Also, according to LN's site, they were granted the patent on March 31, 2015. So Feelyx may never have received his actual patent, he may have sold it while it was still pending.
EDIT: the Events listed for Patent #US8992089B2 shows Priority to US201261677511P on 7/31/2012 (I have not yet been able find out what that refers to ) Then on March 13, 2013 IMS Solution, LLC filed application for the patent. So the timeline falls in line with what I've been reading. But of course that's not the whole story, and since Feelyx can not talk about it we may never know for sure.
And Charles Navarro didn't develop ceramic hybrid bearings, they were designed by SKF and have been around for decades. He pulled one off the shelf.
