My drive is the BH16NS40 which is on the UHD friendly list.
It came with the firmware version 1.05 and was manufactured in March 2023.
MakeMKV is showing the following firmware date: 2120-05-06 13:31
The drive platform is: MT1959
The service code is (If that is of any interest): NS51

Use the SDF Flasher that Martymcnuts wrote. Version 1.05 is encrypted firmware so make sure the enc box is ticked.

WH16NS60 1.02mk is good firmware for this drive. This file is located in the latest MK file directory in old files directory. As Coopervid said BH16NS60 1-02 could also be used.
