Every sequence is distinct almost certainly. It just matters if the important parts of a sequence are changed or duplicated.

So two versions which are sequenced as a certain variant may actually have many differences in practice.

I will also add that there are many variants that just havent hit the news cycle. Iirc there was a gamma variant with higher lethality but was much less transmissible.
