Why 2 versions of the Sportiva Python?

Rock shoe geek-out question here:

Why is La Sportiva selling a different version of their new slipper, the Python to North America? ....The rest of the world is getting a much different version of the Python. Look at the pictures or hold a shoe if you don't believe me.

 

The NA Sportiva csr rep simply told me they were both unlined, but didn't explain for the difference. The world version is getting rave reviews but the NA version isn't getting quite the marks of the the world version. Any insights? Was it a bad batch of prototypes that are getting dumped on us lowly American and Canadian sport climbers? (this has done before many years ago by several shoe companies).

 

As a sidenote, many of the NA retailers list the NA version as lined (probably a typo). Their also appears to be possibly a third version of the Python.
