I just looked at two boxes from ac2 as well as physical stickers on the devices. The international one says "INTL/US", product code RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC. The numbers after the serial number are "347/r3". The US one has product code RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC-US, the numbers after the serial number are "133/USr2". But within ROS both have RBD52G-5HacD2HnD as the model number.
So I guess there is a "combined" package which really means international device with US plug, it's not some mix-up from the distributor.
I actually had previously been aware of the "INTL/US" products that are the non-locked, non-US devices (always wireless, since this is about FCC regulations) yet packaged with a US power adapter, but had forgotten about it. It has always been a bit of a curiosity to me that MT even offers these as a valid SKU...I would think that the US would not be keen on the idea of somebody importing a product that is known to not enforce the rules.
But, check this: I stumbled across one new-in-box in the office last week that had product code ending in -US, serial ending in /USr3, and yet when I booted it up and went to config the wifi, it showed all of the countries in the list, and not just the 4 variants of "united states" and "canada" that I would expect to see! So maybe they messed up, and there are a bunch of "r3" units out there that were sold as US-only, but they forgot to lock them down?
