Not true.

The machine is the same. The ROMs are not, and neither are the
keyboards.
There is a british, french, german, US and probably a spanish(?) version of
the machine.

All versions are assembled on the same assembly line ('cause they are
the same...) with different Parts (ROM, keyboard and packing).

I would not call a different packing and different keycaps (the keyboard
subsystem/processor ist the same with all national keyboards)
"specifically engeneered".
