The difference is one is blown and one is draw!
The important ones are 1,4,5,6 OB and 7, 9 & 10 OD. With practice you can even bend them.
In an overblow you are blowing in such a way that the normal blow reed 'chokes' and instead the draw reed sounds - blowing a draw reed.
To do it you'll probably need to gap your harp very close to the reedplate. Your embouchure should be the same as when you make a draw bend - except you blow instead.
Same with Overdraws - except it's the other way round, you are drawing a blow reed.
EDIT:Oops just reread your post. Overbend - not overdraw. I think overbend is just another name for an overblow.
Takes a lot of practice and it really is a time when tweaking the harp is important. Few harps OB or OD well out of the box. Far Eastern made harps - Lee Oskars, and Delta Frosts in particular need extra work doing to them too.
