Which engine is newer?

Following are two serial numbers. One is from the engine I'm pulling from my ML320 and the other is from a replacement from SWEngines out of Tulsa (who won't provide a VIN by the way).
I'm wondering which is the newer number and how does one tell?
112942 30 589655
112942 31 239186
