The 320242 is a medium lift blade meant for side discharging. The 320245 is a high lift notched blade like an Oregon Gator Blade also meant for side discharging.
Neither of these blades were designed for use with a mulch kit. With a mulch kit, you want a blade designed to cut the grass and force the clippings down into the turf. You don't want a high lift or even medium lift that will keep the clippings swirling around under the deck (because there's no place for the clipping to go with the mulch kit installed and the discharge chute closed off).
The 320247 are the high-low mulching blades for a 61" deck.
