What are the differences between the cobra 29ltd and the 29gtl?

I know Howard Sam's co. didn't release the 29ltd as a photofacts but the 29gtl has been, at least I found the schematic, and I was curious if the gtl schematic is close enough with minor circuit changes to use for the ltd. I could try to compare the blurry ltd schematic to the gtl but figured someone already has.

The 29GTL had a red LED channel display, the 29LTD had green. Otherwise, the same.

The 29s were built in different locations pending on the year. Early models were built in Taiwan. The for 1 year and 1 year only the GTL was built in Hong Kong. Followed by the Philippine versions, which were arguably the best of them all. From there they were built in China, which is when the mic jack was moved to the front of the radio. As far as schematics go, I don't believe there was much of a difference until the China built. Which came with a different audio chip.
