What's the difference between two English version Vista?

There are two set of SKUs for retail English Vista.
for example:
66R-00002 = Windows Vista Ultimate English North America DVD
66R-00020 = Windows Vista Ultimate English International DVD

66I-00002 = Windows Vista Home Premium English North America DVD
66I-00017 = Windows Vista Home Premium English International DVD

Because I need to do some software troubleshooting for UK customers.
But I found that there is only one set English version in MSDN download.
Is the MSDN one = English International or English North America?
What's the difference between North America & International SKUs?

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the only reason for the difference in
SKU's is for product distribution tracking. They are essentially the same
product.

The Internation copy includes various localized English Language, such as
UK, AU, Jamaica, Trinidad etc, since those are English speaking countries.

How can tell whether a DVD is International or North America?
Because under MSDN download, it only shown the language as "English".
