Technically speaking yes. You can replace "Japanese" to "Asian" and it will be the same thing if we talk about the "markets" that the models were sold back then. The thing is that there were "little" cosmetic differences along the different model numbers.

Also, there are LOTS of models in Japan, every custom special edition has a different model number (Like 5000) and stuff like that.

Yes, asian models do not have the modem, but a look-a-like plastic piece instead. But they were only sold in non-japan Asia ( specialed.png ) right?

Speaking of that, they still have HKT-3000 on the label behind and boxing. The 6500, 6800 and whatnot are from catalogues, not anywhere on the product. The Saturn was way easier to keep track of, besides the two last skeleton ones.
