Default XJ8 vs. XK8 ECM Question

It has been suggested that I possibly have a bad ECM on my 2000 XK8 convertible. I have found a few with the same LNF1410BD. They are marked with MB079700-8813, but are listed as being from an XJ8. Is there a difference between the XJ8 and XK8 ECM?
My VCATS sticker says LNF1410BD/103.

Any help is appreciated!

Most sedans I see are /503 suffix on the VCATS.

Would it require reprogramming? Who can do that?

Here is the TSB/SERVICE ACTION S479 we got for the early cars when I worked at the dealer.

Required info for ECM replacement form to be filled out as well when warranty was involved.

NO IDEA if it will apply to 2000MY onward.
