B was used during MY13 and replaced by E, which was used starting MY14, according to the catalog. Based on the other stuff on that page, I'm guessing it has to do with an updated or otherwise changed LED+heatsink module.

Looks like the B headlamp uses the no-rev LED unit, while the E headlamp uses the A-rev (replaced by B-rev starting MY16) LED unit. No idea if you could just move your E headlamp LED module to the B headlamp and it be fine. Unless that B headlamp is "complete" and ready to just install.

The LED with heat sink is not the same between the two; that was my point. Could be a non-concern for your agenda, but Audi differentiates which LED with heat sink goes with which headlamp rev, for whatever reason. And the rev A LED for the rev E headlamp is now replaced by rev B.
