Rectifiers do work in parallel if same construction / part (if current rises, so does volts, so they share), but a bridge has effectively two in series and that is more complex. I've never paralleled entire bridges, though should work if the same diode part.
A capacitor factory I worked in (1970s) sent all the worst stuff to RS if short of production quota because RS never had made returns and wasn't known to even sample test. RS bridges with same RS part might not be from same supplier, thus current sharing might not work properly.
Mounting tight actually makes sense, re TC. as Kalee20 says.
