brighter, tougher, and the fact that it fuses cleaner, besides its higher capacity for apparently the same gauge, appears to be tin wire, or to have a larger percentage of tin than the others.
Those in class C may be of a third variety, or may simply be a bit newer than those in B, which would perhaps account for the slightly higher current carrying capacity.
