The b version is for a newer LCD driver. If your front panel was built with the newer LCD driver, there's a permanent mark in the radio's flash memory that the K3 Utility uses to figure out which firmware file to use. Don't try to rename files; the K3 Utility will figure it out and load the firmware file appropriate for your front panel board.
