What's the difference between the FT-60 and FT-60R?

What's the difference in their batteries?

There's no such thing as an FT 60. There's either an FT-60R meant for North America distribution, or the now-discontinued FT-60E for European distribution: ?batteries and accessories are all the same.

The front panel of mine is marked FT-60 -- I thought maybe I had been struck blind, but, I checked, and sure enough, front panel is marked FT-60 -- HOWEVER -- when I remove the battery and check the data plate it reads FT-60R !!? ?

Which explains why when I search for "FT-60 batteries," all I get are FT-60R batteries.

Even simpler before AM, but there is no going back, thankfully.
