From what I understand;

B18C6 is a UK/Euro Type R engine.
B18C5 is a USDM Type R engine.
B18C (no numbers) JDM 96/98spec Type R and Si/SiR/SiR-G.

There are a few other B18C versions, but I am not aware of a B18C8??

If it is a JDM engine, then its possible they were confused, taking the B18C, and then the '8' off the individual identification number stamped under the 'B18C' eg;

B18C
8XXXXXXX
