That has to be a typo. That exact color temperature, lumen rating, and 500 hour life can't all be true, especially from three manufacturers.
I ran into this with a bulb supplier here in the states once, actually sending back some cheap bulbs that were incorrectly spec'd. They're the right wattage, the right fitting, but are designed for stage lighting applications, and the tradeoff for burn time is slightly less light output and a less balanced color spectrum. So I would say yes, 500-hour bulbs DO exist, they're fine to put in your projector, but they're likely to not look as good.
