They seem to be the same plugs, heat range aside, except yours have a Projected insulator (whatever that means), and take a 16mm socket instead of 18mm..
I use the threaded nipple ones because the nipple doesn't fit into my plug caps, I have to remove them and just use the treaded portion bare. If you need the nipple, the fixed ones are a little cheaper.
Don't ask me what a projected insulator is! Probably like overhead mudguards or underslung overdrive? (Chain.)

Regarding your asymmetric mixtures, I wonder if one of the diaphragms is split and not lifting the needle valve/jet properly?
