My phone has the original accessories in the box still. I have a pair of AirPods and use wireless charging at home and the office. I have other cords already in my car, so no need to open any of the accessories that came with it.
That’s one reason Apple stopped including charge bricks in the newer models. They just assume everybody already has one so it’s cheaper (for them) to sell the phone without it.

The seller probably isn’t worried about the numbers matching as long as the box is for the model you ordered. It is “original” to the phone model. But I completely see your concern.
Is the seller an individual or a business? If it’s a business, it would make sense that things don’t match up, as they are likely dealing with bulk quantities. If it’s from an individual, it could be as simple as they and their spouse each had the same phone and they grabbed the wrong box.

It would have the same numbers if it were the original packaging. But that doesn’t mean you are getting scammed. It just means they used a different this than it came in.
Some people buy/sell phones in bulk. Phone packaging was made to fit the phone it was produced for. So it makes sense to ship it in the same packaging if reselling. You can buy the retail boxes in bulk for this reason.
As long as what was advertised was what you got, I wouldn’t be worried.

Of course. As long as it the right phone and not iCloud locked, I wouldn’t worry
