What is the difference between SRID 25832 and 83032?

Hi forum

My company will soon have Danish geodetic data delivered in the following coordinate system according to the provider, who works with MapInfo.

"UTM zone32 North EUREF89"

From the information I have been able to dig up, EUREF89 is just another name for ETRS89, so when searching in CS_SRS for the right SRID to apply to the data, I find these two SRID's with the mentioned CS_NAME's:

(SELECT CS_NAME FROM CS_SRS WHERE CS_NAME LIKE '%UTM%' AND CS_NAME LIKE '%ETRS89%' AND CS_NAME LIKE '%32%')

25832: "ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N"
83032: "UTM Zone 32, (ETRS 89)"

Can somebody please explain the difference between these two? I strongly believe, that the right SRID to use is 25832 because of the word "North" in the provider's description, but since I'm not 100% sure... I hope someone can provide some background info on these 2 coordinate systems, explain the difference, and tell me if I'm choosing the right one.

Thanks in advance
