Wrong way around.
OE = Original Equipment = ....original equipment. Dealer parts.
OEM = ...Manufacturer...Most of the time same item, but sometimes can have small changes. OR that Manufacturer sells
another item not originally sold on the car AKA Bosch oil filters since MANN was OE. Bosch items used on the car, but not oil filters from the factory.

Flex disk quality will be hard to judge since they all degrade anywhere between 60-100k.
I replaced mine with Febi-Bilstein on both of my W124's and I am at 30k since replacement on my wagon. It already shows signs of wear...I'd say 30% worn. Seems about right.
