Tire codes BSW BSB

I was looking at tires for 'Doris' (don't ask!) and I noticed that the Goodyear Endurance has a "BSW" code and the Carlisle has a "BSB" code.

What are these codes?
Goodyear ST205 /75 R14 105N D1 BSW
Carlisle ST205 /75 R14 105M D1 BSB
I generally understand the rest of the code, but the BSW/BSB has me foxxed. I found a reference to "BSW" as Black Side Wall, but "BSB"?
Thanks for your help.

Look in this reference. Some are more explanatory than others.

BSB is Carslile marketing term for the designs and swirls on the sidewall of a tire. Not an industry standard term in my experience.
