I was curious myself and here's what I found via Google AI:
The main difference between Topps EA and SE products is the retail channel they are sold through. This difference can result in slightly varying pack odds or exclusive inserts, but the base cards are generally the same.
Distributor channel
EA (Electronic Arts): Despite the "EA" acronym, this designation refers to products sold at Target stores, not the video game company. In some cases, it also covers products sold through Meijer.
SE (Sports Entertainment): This designation is for products sold at Walmart stores.
As someone mentioned earlier, these "mega boxes" were probably supposed to be distributed via retail chains (in addition to the usual Topps.com/Fanatics.com drops), but eventually such plans were scrapped.
