SKF Unit Hub with Timken Bearing?

[bore_pig]

Installed a new wheel bearing assembly in my wife's Mountaineer today. I purchased a SKF unit hub with lifetime warranty from the local part store. As I was going to install the new hub assembly I looked at the bearing, AND IT WAS A TIMKEN?! Any explanations other than an employee doing a box swap in the back room? Part# BR930456.

I know that Timkens are supposed to be good as anything, but I worry that if I need to use the warranty in the future they won't let me. Tough to get warranty replacement for a SKF when you are holding a failed Timken, isn't it?

They are fierce competitors. No merger or other cooperation between them.
