There's a label under the seat that will tell you which market it was produced for.

Some (poor) photos of it can be seen HERE

Sitting on the bike, the frame numbers on the right of the headstock, and the vin plate on the left with also the decibel rating written on it. Although mines about 20db out :smt003
Is that what you mean?

Yes thats the one mate, the one stamped on the frame is exactly the same as the one on the left hand plate apart from the last digit thats missing.
Some friends have looked at it, and agree that it doesn't appear to have been tampered with, or repaired with in any way.
It looks like they have just ran out of room for the last digit .
All the numbers match apart from this last digit.
Am I worrying over f all
The number on the log book has the last digit missing but the original paper work has the full set of numbers
Just hoping a Friday afternoon frame or the last day before the summer shut down
