The difference is that actual original equipment way back when was made in Germany and was of top quality, and the replacement "OEM" parts, while made by Bosch, are manufactured all over the world and are often inferior. I have seen Bosch parts made in Germany, Spain, Slovenia, Mexico, Brazil and India, and maybe a couple of others as well, that I can't remember at the moment. The Indian spark plugs were truly awful, which is only one of the reasons I prefer NGKs.
