I called in this AM and I am happy to report that this whole thing has a very simple explanation:
Part # 83 22 1 470 080 IS THE SAME STUFF AS # 83 22 1 427 993.
The diffecence is that the originally posted "correct diff oil" is the 55 L container supplied to the dealerships and the part numbers listed on the invoice are the 500cc bottles. There was a shortage of the 55 liter containers at the begining which lasted for months hence the 500cc bottles were used.
I even got them to fax this info over to me to keep for my records.
...If this info is a re-post then I'm terribly sorry for the waste of a post.

providence, when I search that P/N I get no results found.
I have yet to find a P/N for the non-FM diff fluid for individual use (1 or .5 liter containers).
Anyone have any luck?
