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.
