icm or icc color profile file not visible in Lightroom or Photoshop

I plan to create a photobook with momento. They have provided me with a link to their color profiles. I installed the required profile on my iMac (OS 10.12.6) in Library/ColorSync/Profiles - where my other icc files are. I then re-started Lightroom CC (v2015.12) and Photoshop CC 2108 (2 but the momento profile was not visible. I then noticed that the momemto file was not an icc extension but icm. My research on various forums advised icc and icm are one and the same - icm being typically Windows but should be recognised by other OS. The forums advised that the easy solution is merely to amend the extension from icm to icc. I have done this but neither LR nor PS can see this profile. What can anyone advise?

I have since tried to install these profiles on my Macbook - same result - not recognised by LR.

Neither the icm extension files nor the two icc files that were in the same zip file. Changing the extension to icc made no diference.

Then I downloaded an icc profile from Ilford for one of their Gallerie papers. Following the same procedure I copied the file into Finder: Library/ColorSync/Profile - and voila! it worked and is visible in Lightroom.

So I can only think it is an issue with the files from momento.

Are these CMYK profiles?

AFAIK, LR currently does only support RGB profiles. It once did support CMYK for soft proofing as well, but this has been removed at some point due to inconsistent results.
