HBOS - HBOS Ord shares

Francophile

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question but does anyone know the difference between HBOS and HBOS Ord shares. I have a few shares in HBOS and didn't opt to buy more when they made the offer recently. I thought I'd check the share prices today and of course now they are showing difference prices for HBOS and HBOS ord. I have what would have been the original shares so which do I have HBOS or HBOS Ord?

On teletext today they were showing with 2 different prices which is why I was confused.
