There are only 3 iPhone SE models.

The SE 1 is very different to the other 2. Would be very small with 2 lighter color bands bands at the top and the bottom on the back.

If you bought the SE 2 or SE 3, it will tell you under Settings->General->About->Model. Post it here and we can tell you what model iPhone it is based on that number.

Or use this link with the model number that starts with an A.

If your iPhone SE has aluminum on the back with glass above (camera area) and below (bottom of phone) then you have the iPhone SE first generation. This model has flat sides (iPhone 5 body).

if your iPhone SE has an all glass back then you have the iPhone SE second generation. This model has rounded sides (iPhone 8 body).

The iPhone SE third generation wasn’t announced until this month, so if you purchased it prior to this month then you have an iPhone SE first or second generation.

The A2275 is the generic model identifier for ALL 2nd generation iPhone SE.

The M number further identifies it for colour, capacity, and country.

We don't know, why they are different because you have not told us the model numbers you are looking at. Its possible you are looking at 2 different things thinking they should be the same, when they don't have to be the same.

Tell us what model number appears on the box, and what model number you see in the iPhone.

And...in addition to Stedman1's correct identification, it should be black, with 64GB capacity.

See this. Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support

When you look at Settings>General>About>Model Name, it should identify it, or Model Number, if you tap on that longer number, it will change to an A#### and you can use that to look at the phones in the link I provided you.
