Are there region specific hardware differences to GT-N8000? Are there region specific hardware differences to the GT-N8000, or is a GT-N8000 the same device no matter where you live?

I thought Samsung's model names (GT-I9300, SM-G900F, GT-N8000) were a safe way to identify the hardware inside. Are devices with the same model name, the same in all aspects except the region-specific/cell-provider-specific firmware?
Yes, there are differences. 
In India it has only A-gps
