Oil Pan differences

Need to replace the oil pan in my 76' R90/6 and noticed most of the pans I'm finding online have a slight difference in the part number. The pan that came off my bike has a number of 1 262 722 1.2 225 and everything I am finding has 1.1 in place of 1.2. Any noticeable difference, or am I splitting hairs here?

Thanks
 
As far as I know, those numbers are not part numbers but are internal numbers used by BMW's manufacturing. They are likely mold numbers or some such...really of no use to the average owner. Anton has more info on oil pans here:
