I don't know about MOL (maximum operation level) differences between
cassette tapes but I have found two slightly different UDXL-IIs in the stores. 
They have different style printing on the tape housing as well as the labels
inside the dust case.  I call them "blue" and "white" since those colors
seem to correspond to the reel (hub) colors.

I have had no trouble with the "blues" but a bunch of "whites" I picked
up at a very good discount exhibit a scraping sound when winding.

I don't know if this is "normal", an isolated defect, a cost reduction
move, or even a counterfeit.

Has anyone else noticed this?
