Default B18a1 & B18A1 Is There A Difference?

Is there a difference between the a1 & A1 motors? Does one require a different ECU or anything like that, or is it just the way someone says it like some people use the smaller lower case letter and some people use the upper case letter? Just trying o make sure that I got the right ecu and all running with my motor as I got a few minor issues.

Just a preference of someone using caps or not.
