I've used Victor Reinz for valve stem seals several times. Never had a problem. E.g. my white S70 has seals that now are 10 years old and roughly 100K miles.
Why do people not like Reinz. Who has had a bad experience with their gasket kits??

Are there different stem seal part numbers for the6mm and 7mm versions ?

Oof, I almost just ordered those seals assuming they were 6mm. I could be blind but I don't see any reference to their sizing, but abscate it seems you're inferring that kit is 7mm?

I was trusting the "what this fits" info on the dealer web page. Have only ever used them in P80 engines 95-98.

Use your VIN AND OR engine number to source engine parts. Any of the online Volvo,parts stores will have the engine to get this right.
