Some of the You tube warriors, that dissect filters on their videos have shown that some of the new filters from H/M are not of the same quality, or construction, as the older versions were. Previously the same last 4 numbers of WIX and NAPA filters were identical inside, that has changed.
Formerly if you couldn't get a WIX part, the NAPA version was identical, no longer the case depending on where you are buying your Wix/Napa filters from, because there are apparently different suppliers depending on location.
As mentioned earlier, Wix and Baldwin are coming from different countries of origin so appearance and quality may differ from a given supplier
