A. The difference is in the Composition.
AA 1235 is a purer version of aluminium Alloy with low level of Fe & Si used for thin gauge foil rolling. AA 8011 is Al-Fe-Si alloy with high Fe & Si as alloying elements to impart strength in the alloy. AA 8011 is used for slightly higher gauge foil rolling.
