Because there is a single firmware for all Kindles of the same model. Whether you will be shown ads (or not) is determined by phoning home to Amazon.

MediaPlayer-xx_YY.jar.. on the soundless PW, what media..? Mebbe this is used for the "silent movie player" kindlet..?
No idea, really. But "media" is a very broad term which doesn't only encompass audio and video.

TopazReader-impl-xx_YY.jar.. what's topaz..? some new format..?
Nope, a really old format.

oobetutorial-xx_YY.jar.. this is the stuff that comes up when you first unbox and start up the kindle..?
No idea.

My PW had *en_GB jars.. but no *en_US jars..
en_US is the language that all resource bundles default to and are defined in. Whatever your current locale is, you will fall back to the default locale if no definition for the requested resource is found. And the default, as said before, is en_US. So no need to define it explicitly.
