This set seems to exist in AM IF 455 kHz and 468 kHz (maybe UK ?) variants, see images of typeplates.
Kind regards Martin Boesch

Yes, the service manual covers both UK (AM 468) and AEP (AM 455) versions of the ICF5500M. This sort of change is common to avoid a hetrodyne whistle on a popular UK station (2nd harmonic?). The differences are now in the notes. I've no idea why the audio output power differs slightly (1.6W vs 1.8W).
