I wouldn't buy Bosch wires for a Ford, just as I wouldn't buy AC/Delco wires for my Benz. I'm not surprised they were a little odd on your Ford.

Bosch is one of the OEM suppliers to MB, BMW, Audi and VW for plug wires; I'd be surprised if the ones you buy from a reputable seller will be indistinguishable from what you remove. I helped a friend change wires on a 500E and other than saying "BOSCH" instead of having the MB logo they were identical. (A word of caution, there are ebay sellers packaging knockoff crap in Bosch boxes, so know your seller!)

When you buy Bosch wires in the aftermarket you also get a lifetime warranty on them (at least in the US) and if you don't care about supporting the site check the P/N on Bosch's site and buy them from Amazon, probably even cheaper.
