Two Marlboro cartons sit side by side in the Qorxiva route log, and their records look close at first glance. Both are logged as one carton of 10 packs, both carry the same listed carton price, and both are in stock. The records diverge on identity, blend character, SKU and slug route. This entry sets Marlboro Red (SS-302) and Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition (SS-313) side by side so you can tell them apart before quoting a SKU.
The two records at a glance
Marlboro Red is logged under SKU SS-302 at the Marlboro Red product record. Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition is logged under SKU SS-313 at the Marlboro Hard White US product record. Both share the Marlboro family, the 10-pack carton unit and in-stock status, and both list at A$195.50 per carton (10 packs) with A$230.00 as the regular list price. Same family, same unit, same price; the split is in the identity and blend character of each record.

The table is the short version: the records agree on family, pack unit, price and availability, and differ on SKU, slug, route and blend positioning.
Blend positioning: the fuller Red record vs the smoother Hard White US record
The Marlboro family sits on the classic end of the Qorxiva catalogue, and the two records share that family character. SS-302 is the fuller entry: the classic, full-bodied profile the Red record is known for. SS-313 is the smoother entry: the same family base with a lighter, cooler-toned character that the US Edition white pack is logged under. Neither record is a quality ranking; both are positioning labels to help you pick the profile you prefer. If you normally reach for a fuller-bodied classic profile, SS-302 is the direction to check first. If you prefer a smoother, lighter-toned profile, SS-313 is the direction to check first.
One naming note for the log: the full product record for SS-313 reads Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition, and readers often shorten it to Hard White US. The shortened name is fine for conversation, but the SKU is what separates the record from every other Marlboro entry.
Price check: both Marlboro cartons at A$195.50
Price is not the difference between these two records. Marlboro Red (SS-302) is listed at A$195.50 per carton (10 packs), or A$19.55 per pack, and Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition (SS-313) lists at the same figure. Both carry A$230.00 as the regular list price.
When two records sit at the same price, the SKU and the slug route do the separating work. Qorxiva quotes cartons and logs the route because the identity of the record, not the dollar figure, tells the two apart. Prices change over time; the product page is the authoritative record.
Route check: slugs, canonical URLs and HTTP 200
Qorxiva is a slug and SKU route log, so the route is the point. Marlboro Red resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/marlboro-red, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-302. Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/marlboro-hard-white-us-edition, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-313. Both routes are canonical without a trailing slash and sit under the Marlboro brand category alongside the rest of the range.
One distinction worth logging: the Red record and the Hard White US record share the Marlboro family but not a slug, SKU or route. For referencing a listing, the slug is useful, but the SKU is definitive. Quote SS-302 for the Red record and SS-313 for the Hard White US record, and there is no room for confusion.
Which one should you choose?
The reading comes down to blend preference, because the price is identical. Readers who prefer a fuller-bodied classic profile should check Marlboro Red (SS-302) first, listed at A$195.50 per carton (10 packs). Readers who prefer a smoother, lighter-toned profile should check Marlboro (Hard White) US Edition (SS-313) first, listed at A$195.50 per carton (10 packs). Both are in stock and route cleanly to their own product record. Pick the blend profile first, then quote the right SKU.
If you are logging the Marlboro range, the earlier Marlboro Red route log and the Marlboro Hard White route log keep the rest of the catalogue on record.
