I own a Sage 4wt in 8'6" 2 pc that was built for me from a Sage blank

I also own a Sage 5wt in 8'6" 2 pc that I purchased throught FAOL "For Sale" board

I love both of them and consider them 2 of the best rods I have ever fished with. My question is:

On the rod that was built for me, in the description it has IIIb and the one purchased through FAOL has IIIe

I am assuming that IIIb lets them know, if there is a claim, that this was built from a blank and IIIe lets them know it was built by Sage. Would that assumption be correct? Do you feel there is any difference in the blanks themselves other than where they were built?
