Oil Filter Problem

I went to the Nissan dealer today to get two oil filters. I told him the model and year of my Max, and he gave me two filter # 15208-9E000. I was looking at some posts on here and they say to use filter # 15208-00001. So my question is; did the hillbillie that sold me the filters sell me the wrong ones? Also, what is the difference between the ones I have and the "15208-00001" one?

P.S.
There is an application chart on the side of the box. It says: Vehicle-Maxima, Model-A32B, Engine-VQ30DE
Vehicle-Infiniti, Model-A32, Engine-VQ30DE
among other vehicles listed. I thought the Maxima had engine type A32?!? WTF is A32B?

Thanks in advance.

I think that if you bought it at a Nissan Dealership. You can be sure is the correct one.

A32 is the chassis designation for the Maxima. VQ30DE is the engine on 4th gens.

A32B might just be an inventory thingto differentiate between Nissan and Infinity dealerships. I doubt he gave you the wrong one since everything else matches.
