You're fine, don't worry about it. The majors (Sylvania, GE, Philips,
Wagner) buy and sell amongst one another all the time, especially (but not
exclusively) on slower-moving items. Philips quit making sealed beams
years ago. They still sell them...GE sealed beams in Philips boxes! And
most of Wagner's European-type bulbs are German-made Narva units.
