As far as I'm aware there is no difference. I've used both interchangably.

The suffix denotes the manufacturer's packaging code.
The 'N' is used by most manufacturers for the plastic 8-pin package.
The 'P' is used by a few manufacturers for the plastic 8-pin package.
Raven Luni is right, there is NO difference between the two devices, just the mfgrs.
