I Ordered a Prusa MK2S kit, WRONG Z-Axis Bed?

I ordered a MK2S kit a couple months ago, I got it, put it on a shelf, and finally have time and need to assemble and test it for a project. Everything says MK2S on my paperwork, etc. but, I am on Step 1 of the assembly manual for the MK2S and it says look at the Z-axis frame sticker and mine says MK2!!! It should say MK2S! Did Prusa send me the wrong Z-Axis frame bed?

Has anyone had this problem, is it just a typo and someone put the wrong sticker on? I literally have TODAY to put this together and then need it, so this is a big problem --

I emailed prusa, but I need to chat to them in real-time, where did the chat option go?

Thanks --

Maybe a different sticker but the difference between MK2 and MK2s isn't the frame.... it's barely anything. bearings, ubolts and rods i think. same frame, same everything else.

some of the parts behind the X carriage are different, to improve cable strain relief!

The basic frame Aluminium frame and screwed rod is the same mk1, mk2, mk2s

the Mk2 and Mk2s use different Y frame corner blocks and different LCK Housing to the Mk1,

Mk3 changes from screwed rod to aluminium extrusions for the Y axis which results in different plastics too
