Buying WD My Passport Ultra online

#1: Cross-checking the WD external HDD My Passport Ultra on My Passport Ultra - Premium Portable Storage against those on amazon/flipkart I find that the part numbers do not match.

WD Passport Ultra 2.5 inch 2 TB External Hard Drive - WD : Flipkart.com
mentions Part Number as WDBMWV0020BBL which is not in the list on wd site. Same for amazon.

Does this matter at all? How can i be sure what drive is being sold?

#2: In case of hardware failure do i have to send it to WD at my own cost? Does flipkart/amazon help?

That model number is for the new range of drives launched recently.
Secondly RMA is free of cost all you have to do is shoot a request for RMA.

So those selling online are older versions than on wd site?

Amazon has the new ones if I am not wrong.
