Same difference.
Companies can make up any part number they want, to suit them.

If you're just buying a sprocket though i'd be inclined to not get mugged off and try a Renthal one or similar.

That what I was thinking initially too, however OEM front sprocket has a big red rubber thingy which any of aftermarket ones lack.
I have digged out in forums and although nobody so far is sure why is that (given the fact that is the only sprocket in the world that has such feature) some guys suggested that may something to do with noise and calming the chain movement. I have looked at pictures of some old used ones and you can see clearly the marks from the chain there too.
Anyhow long story short the price difference for the fron tone is not so huge as for the rear one, OEM one is £24 any aftermarket is around £10.
Hence I decided to go for OEM front and Renthal rear :-)

Are you not changing the chain?
