None of these 460 kg aircraft came into Australia and I would assume the US. Can't remember whether it's 450 or 460. The VLA version had longer and lighter wings and only 1 fuel tank and a smaller useful load as I understand it. At least that was the case when I bought mine. The 2 different versions were made for Europe(460hg VLA) and the US (560 kg) Someone with more knowledge might be able to correct me or fill in the gaps.
