AirPods Pro serial number different on settings but same printed on earbuds

I know each airpod is supposed to have a different serial number. My question is if these different serial numbers are supposed to be printed on each earbud or just visible in the settings. Each earbud of mine has the same serial code as the one on the charging case and box, but the settings shows me 3 different serial numbers: the one I see on the box/case/earbuds and a different one for the left and another for the right ears. Is that normal or are my airpods fake?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

I purchased AirPods Pro’s privately with a receipt also. The serial numbers on my receipt, box, and AirPods case all match. The lightning cable doesn’t click into case so I brought it to the Apple store and they said it was a counterfeit case. Looks 100% real though. Even the firmware is correct! If you open the AirPods case then go into settings, about then click on AirPods you can see the firmware.
