I'm not too sure about that...
The 64k Coco2 (TRS-80 markings) with the missing ECB chip is a 26-3127 mfg in the USA, according to the sticker, and it has the vertical channel switch.
The other 64k Coco2 (Tandy markings), 26-3127B mfg in the USA, according to the sticker, and it has the horizontal channel switch.
And after closer looking closer to the two machines, the I/O ports and TV out are reversed from one another.
I have a Korean 26-3136 (Radio Shack markings) unit the has the exact same layout as the 26-3127B.
Serial Nos are as follows:
64k USA 26-3127 Coco2 w/o ECB: 0190090
64k USA 26-1327B Coco2: 296461
64k Korean 26-3136 Coco2: 2056956

I forget which are which, but that's the difference between the Coco 2 as
manufactured in Texas and as manufactured in Korea (Tandy Corp. owned both
factories).
