thanks for detailing the scenario and then pin point questions, it makes our job relatively easy.
A1 - It hugely depends on the agreement that the designer and the client have entered into either expressly or impliedly. If the design is exact same then the designers might have a case. Since the designers were contracted and later paid for the design, normally its assumed they have sold their design, if there's nothing to prove to the contrary. So it'll depend on the agreement between the parties to decide whether designer is entitled for equal credit or not.
A2 - The first step would be to engage a lawyer, the second would be to send the client a demand notice through the lawyer, the third would be to liaison with an attorney based in Norway and try to hire him on contingency basis. However, there is no point going for litigation/ arbitration owing to the quantum of amount involved.
All the best!
