Default ford red top injectors different, but the same?

my stock injectors are currently at 110% duty cycle @ wot. A friend of mine told me he had 7 ford red tops i could have, so i went on ebay and bought 3 additional ones for 30$. I figured 30$ for a full set of red tops cant beat it. When the ones i bought off of ebay came in i noticed the nozzles were different between the two. I searched the part numbers and flow wise the injectors are exactly the same. the only difference is the nozzle. Since i have 7 of the ones on the right i will only need one additional. my question is will having one injector with a different spray pattern cause problems if theyre both otherwise the same exact injector?

No the part number are different they're from different models, other Than the tips they're exactly the same. I don't think it would be an issue just would like some other opinions. Worst case I'm sure I can find 1 more but if I don't have to I won't.

If they are flow rated the exact same im sure it's fine. You could always send them off to be checked, but I realize that kinda defeats the purpose.
