You guys can argue that they are all the same but by trial and error that is my conclusion and what worked.
The argument of part numbers is usually king, but in some cases parts with the same part numbers are different. This can be because of different revision levels between parts, or even part number suffixes that are used internally with one company and not recognized by another.
I have worked on parts for the '15 Mustang and '14 Corvette convertible tops and revision levels for parts were a big deal. They are not usually stamped on the part and usually require a lot of experience working with the parts to differentiate between revision levels.
I have also dealt with the part number suffixes, like a part number 111111-A2 is used by the supplier and the customer company does not recognize the A2 suffix, the customer company can simply drop the A2 suffix. As long as the parts are not going to the same location there won't be a problem. The extra information lost with the suffix can be placed on a shipping label on a container of parts rather than the part itself.
