Re: Was I scammed on ebay on this grill? need help

The part numbers seem legit.

Sometimes there is an embossed number which represents the base part (like the casting number on a cylinder head or block, or exhaust manifold). Then, after machining or updating in some way the final assembly part number increments to something else (often the next sequential number).

In plastic parts this would also be known as the "less finish" number; then the specific colors (red, blue, green, whatever) would have a separate and distinct part number incrementing up off the less finish.
