Unfortunately Dearborn has had a long history of changing EU designs for the USA even if there is no legal or logical reason for it...

Probably two of the most fortunate FoE products to escape this nasty habit were the European Capri of the 60's and early 70's and the MKI Fiesta. And YES you could notice the nice lack of bastardization on those models when they were sold here. You actually felt compelled to BUY them!!!!!!
