B = 14mm thread, 20.8mm hex
8 = heat range
E = 19mm thread reach
CS= short, angled ground electrode

BC = 14mm thread, 16mm hex
R = resistor
8 = heat range
E = 19mm thread reach
S = standard copper core electrode

Have a look here for a breakdown on what the part No.s mean:

It is unclear though as to why some plugs have different part No.s written on them but seem to be the same type?

I have a selection of B6RES, BP6RES and BP6RE NGK plugs with the part No.s written in differing colours: green, blue & black. Very confusing but it may be down to nothing more than changes in branding.

Dont get too worked up about it...if they look the same, and fit the same....and say 8 on them.....fire away.

I'd be choosing the resistor plugs though.

Demo
Before I realised that they were widely available on the internet. I bought my first set two years ago from a well known UK performance parts supplier @ £6.50 each!!
They were listed as Rover V8 Racing / Nitrous spark plugs.
