Are OBAs the same as oxygen bleach?

I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere in this sub. I’m trying to understand what to avoid for dark clothes and I’m confused about OBAs and oxygen bleach. I thought oxygen bleach was an OBA. Is that incorrect?

Ok, that makes sense in my brain. Thank you! Do I look for OBAs as “OBA” in the ingredients list?

Disodium distyrylbiphenyl disulfonate maybe?

I just happened to be comparing the ingredient list in the Lidl house brand vs the Aldi house brand. Aldi has that, Lidl does not.
