telefunken: Differences between Andante 1352 and 5353W

Is there a difference between the Telefunken Andante 1352 and the Andante 5353W? The schematics look identical. Is it possible one is for the local German market and the other is for international market?

Europe and North Africa market models can have long wave.
Models for the Americas, Tropics etc don't have longwave and usually that's replaced by a Shortwave band. The Andante 5353W is listed as an export model, has 115V and 230V and the LW is replaced by a 2nd SW band.

This is also common on UK export models, except to Ireland or the rest of Europe and North Africa.
