I have about 5 sheets of Advantech OSB left over from setting my roof, and I was wondering if I could use them on the interior?

Reason I ask is that we're in a cold climate and while its OSB on one side, the other side is red which you use the ZIP tape to cover. I've already used regular OSB on the outside, so I'm wondering if I use the Advantech that is left over on the inside will I be creating a moisture barrier that I don't want?

I wonder if I could sheath one of the 20' walls and if I do, should I lay out the Advantech so the red side is facing the interior of the building or should it face the exterior so the raw OSB is facing the interior?

You can see the stuff I'm talking about from this photo where the Advantech was used on the roof:

If you're planning on using OSB for the interior walls, I'd take the Advantech back and exchange it for regular OSB. What was the cost of the Advantech compared to regular OSB.
