I don't known for sure. However, Ohlins USA only gave me the part before
the slash as the part number, which leads me to believe that the part
before the slash is the only significant part of the mark (WRT spring
weight).
Doing some more wild guessing, I'd guess the "-54" is the 15.29kg/mm
spring, while the "-64" is the 16.29kg/mm spring.

There are significant differences in riding style and rider preference
that could explain this. You may be a very smooth rider, and one who
prefers a softer spring than average (or, at least Ohlins' idea of
average). If it works for you, great!
