Yeah looks like exactly the same. Seems different that with the Philips vcrs that share parts with JVC decks (eg VR1000, VR1100 and a bunch others both SVHS and not SVHS) where there are some minor differences and not 100% exact model matches. In Europe there is a Thomson vcr that also seems like a copy of one of the late 90s JVC SVHS decks (THOMSON VSH 2050, looks similar to the PAL HR-S7500 minus the edit port but not sure) and going further back some more some more top of the line JVC made vcrs of several brands.
