Confusion about W212 driver seat cover P/N

I would like to fix the ripped DRIVER (left) seat on my 2013 E350 4dr base sedan (artico gray MBtex, Multicontour, heated seat but NOT ventilated).

The dealer is telling me P/N for my VIN is A21291077467H23 (last 4 digits are color code). This part is not available in the US right now - only Germany with unspecified lead time.

Other places such as FCP Euro say I can use A21291073467H23. This part is readily available including in stock at my dealer.

Note the only difference between these part numbers is a single digit. My dealer admitted that there are cases where sometimes there are 2 seemingly different part numbers that actually are the same item but they have no way of knowing that from their database.

Does someone know what the difference between these P/Ns are and can they be used interchangeably? I would much prefer to use the P/N that is actually available.

I was also told the foam cushion for my vehicle was A2129100750, Not sure if that is compatible with both covers above?

Adding to the mystery, when I go on the online mercedes part lookup for my vehicle, the P/N from FCPeuro comes up but the dealer supplied part is not even there at all!

Thanks so much.
