    Perhaps it is the short circuit capacity of the MCB.
    This has sort of similar coding.
    According to their catalog


    Short circuit capacity..........Series
    3000...................................E90N
    4500...................................E90E
    6000...................................E90 / E880
    10000 .................................E90S / E880S
    25000..................................S90 - Selective

    a newer model would usually have a higher BC
    If that is the difference you can check the short circuit current at the board
