MDT is just refurbished WD drives, I think.

Like Nikimi were refurb Maxtor

Yes they were doing refurbish of WD hard drives, also had some web page http://www.mdt-hdd.com (thats no longer online).
You could use WD for head swap if you have the luck to find the native model of MDT. (Imho)

Hi I just got a batch of these in last week they say platinum on a plain white label?

Mine are 60-80 & 100GB but the full model shows up in pc3000 such as MDT600BB-00CA0 ect. I'd assume they are either WD rejects or seconds as the P-lists are pretty full. They are identical to the same model WD and the SA is the same so it would be a good bet the heads would be interchangeable too.
