If you were using these as stand alone bulbs you might see some difference but I seriously doubt it because the eye can barely detect light at 420 nm, and it very hard to see a difference between 450 nm and 460 nm. Besides that the normal manufaturing consistance between batches of these bulbs could easily be wider than any difference betwen these two bulbs.
Where did you find a spectral graph for a KZ bulb? I don't recall seeing graphs for any KZ bulb as they hide all of their information.
