Default 2 Different Spark Plug Numbers

Have a 97 F150 4.2L and was going to change my spark plugs today. Went to local Ford dealer, asked for set new plugs and they had the number: SP-486 (AGSF42FM). I looked in owners manual and it lists: AWSF-42EE as the plug required.
Was I given the wrong plugs or did the numbers change over the years?

Thx in advance for any help

If I found the right specs for the 97 4.2L F150, it lists:

84 in-lbs (7 ft-lbs) - 168 in-lbs (14 ft-lbs)

Are these correct?
