changes.
In 2011, Texas Instruments purchased National Semiconductor and folded the line into their own, updating the data sheets over the next couple of years to elide the National Semiconductor name and replace it with their own. 

In this case, the LM311N/NOPB was the National Semiconductor part (the NOPB was added when lead was eliminated), and LM311P was the TI part. Now they are both TI parts, but they are almost surely made in different facilities and have slightly different specifications. The packages also have slight differences in the plating, and the plastic shipping tubes are different sizes (40 vs. 50 to a tube) etc.  

Also, the TI LM311P datasheet, as of right now, has a rather glaring error- referring to the part as a quad!
