The outlets I've bought mention T568B and T586A using what appears

the difference?

The colour of two of the pairs is swapped around.

As you say the wiring is the same. I don't know if there is any affect
from the lay of the pairs within the cable or not, in one you be using
opposite pairs the other side by side. This is assuming that all CAT5
cable pairs are laid up the same in relation to the pair colour...
