In my experience all binoculars have adjustable interpupillary distance, because we are all built a bit differently.

If the difference were anything other than retail packaging, prices would probably vary. Usually the retailer specs preferred packaging from makers or wholesalers. Boxes are better for shipping, clamshells for retail display. If they have both types, CL lets the buyer make the call.
