Differences in firmware version numbers

Why is the v20 firmware for 0585162 Uk unbranded black = v20.0.019.209.07

And 0570817: RM-505_EMEA_EURO_QW1 Black = v20.0.019.C01.01?

Why the different firmware numbers?

Is there any difference in the actual content available on the phones?

I am just curious.

All numbers after the initial 20.0.019 relate to country and network variants.
Depending on the network involved (if not a generic product code), there may be Operator specific content with some variants.
The main firmware file 20.0.019 is identical on ALL Euro product-codes (maybe even identical globally).
