Difference between Duplessy royales# 369 and 413

Hi,

 

Numista currently lists this coin from Charles VI. But Duplessy lists a very similar coin by Charles as Regent under Charles VI. I found auction results from 4 different auctions of that type. One example is here. But I can't make out a difference between these two. Below are the pictures of the two supposedly different types.

 

 

I can tell that it's obviously not the same die, but what's the official difference?

I don't have the catalogs, so I can't comment on the official difference, but there is a small spelling difference obverse. 

 

Top coin has FRANCORV REX.

Bottom coin the engraver added a letter and ran out of room, so the word REX is a mess, and you have something that looks like

FRANCORVm RI8
