Some scope manufacturers use identical hardware for two or more models and only the model numbers on the case and the firmware are different.
Some don't even have different firmware, just a few ID bits different to enable or hide various capabilities. Other equipment has been found like that.

Same sensor, same LCD screen and everything - just a few different bits that cripple its capabilities.
