They actually were a tiny bit cheaper due to 20%-off sale... but yes, the unique name is likely an arrangement so they can set their own price (if it's not just an older/newer packaging). ABC's The Checkout covered it a while ago, e.g. Officeworks have a price beat promise, but for a given printer they stock exclusively in black, they don't have to match the price for the same model that is sold elsewhere in white.
Interesting/pedantic note about the Vantage labels. On the back it lists compliance with Ford specs WSS-M2C91
2-A and WSS-M2C91
3-B/C/D. On the front label this has been mistakenly transcribed as
M2C913-A/B/C/D. Makes me think it possibly is an alternative label set made for a particular vendor.

Yes, I have referred to a few of those fantastic and maddening stories, and what a cast too, even John Cleese makes an appearance

Sorry, it's a syntax that originated on Twitter and other social media platforms for addressing another party in a discussion thread (along with hashtags for topic descriptors like
#oil #fordspec #doesntmakesense). On those sites it allows you to specifically mention someone/thing and search for those users and topics, on a forum like this it's just a misappropriation of jargon/shorthand/showing off
