Numbers at Core I5 12600K cpu

I've bought an I5 12600K CPU  in the tray, and I see these numbers on it, but I would like to know what they mean:

 

Core  I5 12600k

SRL4T

X213N018

 

On most CPU images of the same processors, I see 

V1343040

 

Can anybody explain why I don't trust buying OEM or in-tray processors too much?

 

Thanks a lot

Trust? Hhmmm... Considering that tray processors are intended for OEMs to use in their own system-level products. While it isn't supposed to be happening, some OEMs will sell their unused tray processors on the gray market. Of course, these could be used processors as well. Trust? Not me.
