It doesn't exist. The current importer had no idea what I was talking about, and just talked about the colour difference between the domestic and export versions. That is the only difference, apparently.

So the rumour is unfounded (unless it was a previous importer...).

PS Here is the email for anyone who wants to practise their German:

Sehr geehrter Herr Hodges,

wir verstehen nicht ganz, was Sie meinen mit dem modifizierten SR-007MKII.
Wo haben Sie das gelesen?

Der Unterschied besteht in der Farbe. Nur auf dem japanischen Markt werden die SR-007MKII in silber angeboten. Der Rest der Welt verkauft den SR-007MKII in schwarz.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Maybe he just doesn't want to share the secret sauce with outsiders. Keep all the awesome german o2s for germans especially after how dirty foreigners got their hands on their last national headphone treasure, Grado PS-1s.

Thanks for the clarification and for your effort.
