The G versus W pot thing has been a source of confusion for years.

Electrosmash and Small Bear say they are the same:

while Pedal PCB, Panasonic, Bournes, and Alps seem to disagree:

https://www.bourns.com/data/global/pdfs/ptv09.pdf
https://tech.alpsalpine.com/prod/e/pdf/potentiometer/taper.pdf

also take note that Panasonic labels them as G (4B), Bournes calls them 4B:B4, and Alps calls them W (4B) but their graph shows similarity to Panasonic and Bournes just for the added confusion.

In the end I don't think it matters.
