Default 991.1 Spark plug change

So I have decided to follow the service recommendations and change out the spark plugs on my 991.1 C2S. According to all information I have found, it appears the OEM recommendation is Bosch FGR 5NQ E04 however I have seen two different plugs with this part number - plugs with the blue stripes and the words "BOSCH R6" on them and plugs with green stripes that have the words "SUPER BOSCH R6" . Does anyone know if these are the same plug? Any difference?

I ordered a set from Amazon and the picture was of the plugs with the green stripes but received the plugs with the blue stripes. Part number looks correct.

BTW - Pelican has both - indicating the blue stripes as the OEM part and the green stripes as the Porsche part (although the "Porsche" part lists "OEM" in the part number and the OEM part has a slightly different part number).

I am confused..... any suggestions?

Same plug: Bosch is the manufacturer of both plugs

Green strip plug is Porsche OEM and are much more expensive.
Blues strip plug is Bosch and are about 1/3 the price.

Just adding another data point: Agree with Sid above. I used BOS-FGR5NQE04 WITHOUT any anti-seize. Good time to replace coils while you're in there too.
