All of the gasoline Syncro trannys are physically the same on the
outside, other than the locker or non-locker part. The 2 North American
models you mentioned only differ in the locker/non-locker option. The
letter code only tells you what the specific configuration was when it
was new. Most of the time it is still the same but Syncronuts sometimes
change the internal gearing and you have no way of telling this from the
outside.
