Nothing to worry about. The AE was introduced into the #8 cylinder to help reduce cackle. You are fine.

When I pulled all mine, they were AD's (an E-99 had AB's) except #8 which was an AB.

In that case, either it was truly an AB which would have injected a little less fuel than all your AD's...OR somebody replaced it with a rebuilt AD injector with an AB solenoid on it.

ok cool just wondering, i got all the injectors in and the motor all togather, but its still blowing blue/grey smoke out the tail pipe, when i took the turbo pipes off there was a bit of oil sitting in the pipes, im pretty sure the seals in the turbo are shot, would that be the reason for the smoke?

You might need to replace a under valve cover harness
