Compatibility between 'identical' RAM kits with slightly different SKU

Am considering adding another 32GB to my system. Currently have 2x16GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 6000, and on first glance it appears I can buy the same again - at 25% of the price I paid about 18 months ago.

However, on closer inspection I've noticed the SKUs are slightly different. Existing is F5-6000U3636E16GX2-TZ5K, and the new stuff is F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5K. Also just noticed that the timings are slightly different - CL36-36-36-76 vs CL36-36-36-96.


Any ideas if that's likely to cause issues? Seems mad that DDR5 is so 'cheap' now that buying a new 64GB kit is worth considering otherwise.
 
All seems good. Booted straight to Windows without having to change any BIOS settings and CPU-Z is showing 3000MHz and 36-36-36-76. Expected the last of those to be 96 on account of the newer sticks, but very much doubt it makes any noticeable difference either way.
