Red face Tyre spec letters - confused!

I hit another effin’ pothole and now have a bulge in one of my tyres. They were all new in June last year and have only done 3,000 miles, so I’m wanting to fit the same type of tyre. The spec on the KwikFit invoice is 255/35R20 Pirelli P Zero 97Y XL JRS. Now, I get all the spec except ‘JRS’. I can find ‘MO’ and ‘AO’ but the only ‘JRS’ I can find isn’t ‘XL’.
So what’s the difference between the JRS, AO and MO suffixes, and would I notice any difference if I fitted an XL AO tyre?
