USACG is an offshoot of Warmoth. Some former employees had their own ideas regarding how to attack the replacement guitar neck/body parts market and went off to do it. They do a good job, but they necessarily have to differentiate themselves. So does LMII, Carver, et al. That's why you see different part numbers for what's essentially the same thing. The differences are often very small, but that's just to keep them out of court. At one time, Dunlop fret numbers were a standard etched in stone. Any more, the various resellers buy from whoever wants to dedicate a roll-form line to fretwire.
So, if you know the rough dimensions of the wire you want, you can get damnably close to them from just about anybody. Forget about the part numbers. Look at the dimensions and material.
