Raypak P-R406A-EN-C 009219 -vs- Raypak P-M406A-EN-C 009965 - What's the difference?

[Frangeech]

In shopping for a new heater, specifically Raypak 406a natural gas... I have stumbled across a few different variants but can't quite tell what the differences are if any....

Raypak P-R406A-EN-C 009219
Raypak P-M406A-EN-C 009965

Anyone know what's different? Is it older generation and new generation?

According the Raypak catalog, they're the same. One is Raypak branded and the other is Rheem.

Ahhhhhh that was going to be my next guess, but couldn't find any solid literature to confirm. Thanks for linking the Raypak catalog I see the highlight within.
