Please let me know if you are aware if it has been offered in other countries.

The models are theoretically everywhere the same. But in the end the released versions for each country differ in some details. The most noticeable is clearly the various packaging versions and of course the folder coming with each model. But there is more. You can detect many tiny differences when checking in deep the various details and overall finish.
