Oregon chain confusion

I bought my father a new chain for his small LI powered saw. The chain that came as standard is an Oregon 90PX056G. I picked up a 90PX056E today (only one letter of a difference). Online says though he should be using the following code but with an X at the end. Can anyone please help? The Oregon codes are really confusing us both. Will the E be suitable? Or should I get a G? Thanks in advance.

I've never found any difference amongst Oregon chains where only the last letter is different.

 

The first 2 numbers and 2/3 letters give you all the info about size and cutter type. 90PX is 90PX.

From various type-91 chains I've had over the years I noted that manufacturer made loops and those made up by the retailer had a different last letter and packaging, otherwise the chains were identical.

ditto above - these chains may have a letter different but are one and the same chain.
