...Within the initial 14 day return policy windows. I was curious however, as I saw a F in the middle of the two replacement unique identifier serial numbers. Is this MacBook Pro some kind of factory stock meant for replacement or is it a brand spanking new MacBook Pro (like the one I bought initially)?

I know the model # starts with M so thats something.

"The next three digits are an identifier code which serves to differentiate each Apple device of the same model which is manufactured in the same location and during the same week of the same year, ensuring that each device has a different serial number. Finally, the last four digits of the serial number represent the product’s model." Im guessing that F means nothing in this case right?
 
I don't know anything but what I found from a search. But you can't read anything into an individual letter of a serial number without knowing exactly how to decode it. I doubt it means anything for you.
