WN2000rptv3 wrong country code

Question

I have a Netgear WN2000RPTv3 that, following a firmware update, has seemingly started broadcasting it's country code as DE. I bought it in the UK from a reputable high street computer store. It always used to broadcast as GB, but following sluggish network speed and connection issues and a bit of detective work, I've discovered a wrong country code may be at fault. I've tried reinstalling firmware. I can set the region (Europe) but no the Country code. The router has worked perfectly without issue. Where can I get hold of UK firmware (rather than DE firmware) so that I can get this resolved? Or how can the country code be changed? Just to be emphatic, the country code has never been DE until the firmwaree upgrade. Any factory reset or backwards firmware install makes no difference, it continues to say DE

What is the SKU of the unit like at the end of the model number it will have AUS for example for Australia or NAS for North America .

There is no SKU country at the end of the model number. Here's a phone of the unit's rear panel.

Its typically on the Box sticker that the unit came in.

And here's a screenshot from the control panel 'status' page. No SKU country code after the model number. I don't think I have the original box - it's 18 months old. Where else would the SKU country code be?
