Such a suffix can mean anything. Maybe a manufacturers name or preferably some pictures could shed some more light on this.

If it's a standard manufacturers suffix, it can mean better or worse specs, or some kind of binning. If it means a lower Vce spec as suggested above, it might be rare, but also rarely useful.

Of course 'ultra rare' is a red flag in itself, especially when it's a variant on a common type.
