what difference does it make to install 103 or 107 rated tyres, assuming they are all either 103 or 107 rated?
There appears to be more 107 rated porsche tyres available than the 103 rated tyres.
103 and 107 load rated tyres
You can use a tyre with a higher load rating than what is specified for your vehicle. However, it is important to ensure that the higher load rating tyre is compatible with your vehicle's other specifications, such as rim size and speed rating. For Porsche N-rated as well.
103W – Load 875 kg (approx 1929 lbs), Speed 270 km/h (approx 168mph)
107W – Load 975 kg (approx 2148 lbs), Speed 270 km/h (approx 168 mph)

I suspect the 197 are a cayenne approved tyre. One of the reasons Porsche are in the process of clarifying the N ratings to make sure which vehicle the N approval has been given for.
There is a mention on a thread on here when someone had an issue with extending a warranty because a Cayenne approved tyre had been fitted to a Macan

The new MY24 facelift Cayenne will include 285/40R22 110Y and rear size 315/35R22 111Y. The tyres feature Porsche's NC0 mark on the sidewall. I wonder if the "C" designates Cayenne?

That looks consistent with plan. but what is going to be the mark for the Cayman? It look as though Macan might be NM0. They do need to issue a clear guide and it would be nice to have a current list of N approved tyres rather than just refer to OPC. the last list I saw is now about 5 years old

^^^ there is such a plethora of tyre brands, patterns and types that this would now be a huge listing. Nexen, Yokohama etc are now OE and N approved for some models. Plus the traditional ones - Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin and Pirelli.
The best thing is to look at an individual tyre manufacturer's recommended fitments for the model, year and rim size of your Porsche. Then check out the tyre dealers and OPC's price offers.
Michelin are comprehensive with their Porsche listing, but not 100%. Note, for example, that most of their all-season tyres are not N-rated. Their retail outlets - Blackircles and ATS Euromaster - can then be used to cross check.
