They're the same thing.
From http://www.unix-systems.org/unix98.html:
UNIX Бо 98 - the latest version of the Single UNIX Specification
integrating the industry's Open Systems standards.
Follow that to the download page at
http://www.unix-systems.org/online.html
and what you get is the single UNIX specification version 2. Why they
adopted a naming scheme from a company whose ambition is to kill
anything UNIX (or even Unix :-) is a puzzle I haven't attempted to
solve.
