Does anybody else have an iPhone 8 Plus 64GB Gold with SKU# or Model Number "NQ982LL/A"? Does this model number exist in Apple's OEM lineup? Everything I've found says MQ982LL/A and not NQ982LL/A? Is this normal?

I believe the leading "N" indicates this is a replacement for a different iPhone of the same model that was serviced or returned to Apple.
Go ahead and call Apple and ask but that does show it is a service replacement unit and it may be new or refurbished, no one would know, not even the Apple employee you call.
If you were anticipating this device was in fact refurbished, then yes, this is almost certainly the case.
If you want confirmation from Apple, I'm sure they can provide it. But if you were expecting a refurbished product, you should rest easy as that's what you very likely have.
That was my hunch as well in that it may just be because it is a refurbished device. Which I'll accept if that is in fact the case. Guess I would need confirmation from an Apple representative.
