It could either be.
1. Country or warehouse of manufacture.
2. Updated or improved part from Denso.
3. Subdivision of Denso.
4. Aftermarket part claiming to be Denso.
There's a lot more reasons but you get the idea.. I personally wouldn't loose sleep over it, as long as you have some warranty or buyers protection.

Yeah, you'll be fine. Just keep yourself alert after installation of the part to see if anything seems out of the ordinary.
