I'm pretty sure that OS Ver 1.19 is the same for all iterations of the PA500. Korg has these words on their web site ...

"The Operating System is in common for all Localized versions.

Note: Do not try to load this Operative System in instruments other than Pa500!"

I just did a binary comparison of the two (PA500 and PA500 Local) OS files on korgpa.com and they are identical.

The differences are in the RESOURCE files. Do not attempt to load a resource file into your keyboard other than the one designed for it. Korg says ...

"Note: Do not try to load these Musical Resources in different localizations of Pa500!"
