Will NTL get a stamp in passport AND a BRP?

Hi all,
I am looking at the NTL application to transfer ILR to new passport.

On the application form it says
"APPLICATION FOR A NO TIME LIMIT (NTL) STAMP BY SOMEONE WHO ALREADY HAS INDEFINITE LEAVE TO ENTER OR REMAIN IN THE UK AND A BIOMETRIC IMMIGRATION DOCUMENT"

And this has been mentioned several places in the application form and the NTL Guidance Notes.

Does that mean if I apply for NTL, I will get a visa stamp in my new passport AND a BRP?

I think you will only get the Biometric card as Home Office is no longer issuing the visa sticker for ILR.

also, the original ILR sticker in passport has no expiry date. does the BRP always have an expiry date even for ILR?

Obviously, ILR itself has no expiry but the BRP card might have an expiry date of say 10 years, but we don't know yet, until somebody who applied after 29th Feb receives his/her BRP and reports back here, if there is indeed any expiry date on BRP card.
