Just a different revision. The new filter is a slightly older revision. I asked a VW master tech and he said it's a crap shoot which one you get when you order from dealer, let alone from a parts store.

Cabin filters are the same way. I have the original and replacement ones from 2 different dealers, all with the same part number. The long sides don't have a stiff "frame" on one of the replacements.
