I'd assume if Volvo carries 2 parts, they are different. There are plenty of examples where they "unify" parts replacement, i.e. they build the cars with multiple parts to save money at the plant on cars "without xxx", but you can only buy the "full featured" replacement if it's compatible, so volvo saves on the other side in reduced total part numbers they have to carry in their catalog (and the customer pays for the replacement part so saving them a little money isn't a priority).
The question sometimes for us "car hackers"...is the difference meaningful. Sometimes a mfr can have pretty strict requirements, they must satisfy everyone, the HUD reflection must be within some tolerance. they would not carry 2 part numbers if it was not warranted. Now if I was swapping the HUD...I'd surely give it a try with the existing windshield! It's probably fine.
