I somehow missed the lurching part. With that said, I just came across a thread using the same term, but unfortunately no resolution in it. Link as follows:

The second set that you're referring to is for the armoured version of the car. The first set is for every other variation, regardless of engine. Stupidly, I provided the image of the armoured set, which I've now changed, but the part numbers are correct for yours.
