Different plug sockets and possibly different warranty support. Otherwise they'll be the same.

Some companies do claim to re-engineer for the more discerning British consumer(!) hence the delay in us getting some items but the difference is minimal otherwise. The major advantage to the dealer would have been cheaper wholesale prices affording them a bigger profit or price advantage. The Euro, if universally adopted, would end this. A sure fire comparison is to find a bona fide UK example and write down its designation, i.e 32PKXXYY. Compare that if possible to that you wish to buy. It should give an indication of it's intended market.
