No! The difference is just what is stamped on the plate. That's all.
Just released to meet different markets.

Any idea what year that ad is from? I wonder how many gullible people were sucked in? Or maybe it was an Aprils Fool day gag, like the old Channel 7 spaghetti tree from the 60's.

Or the fishing lure that you simply dialed in what sort of fish you wanted to catch?

Got two of them, even comes with a visual display window so not only the sort of fish, but size and visual appeal ...... Both "Visa" brand and work fine where ever good fish are available

(* lure refill not available with this product, but instructions on how to refill the lure can be found on line)

David,
The “Spaghetti Harvest” April Fools Day piece was a BBC thing. Can’t remember what year, but it was sometime in the 60s. Absolutely brilliant! I think it’s still available on YouTube.
Ch7 just re-ran it in a news bulletin. As did many TV channels.
