As David said you got the code for the Touch 2 wrong, and also of the H2O (which does not make much difference), and Glo HD. I believe the correct codes are:

mark 3:

• Touch (A),B: 310

mark 4:

• Touch C: 320
• Glo: 330
• Mini: 340
• Aura HD: 350

mark 5:

• Aura: 360
• Aura H2O: 370

mark 6:

• Glo HD: 371
• Touch 2: 372

I tried the query with different geo-positions in the past for test purposes (with TOR). I could not see any different treatment according to geo-positions. But, it is of course possible that I did my testing each time exactly when there happened to be no differentiation, or I choose by chance always the wrong countries. Although I tested mostly, when new FWs just appeared. If many people use vatazhka's page and report their results, it might become clear what is really happening.
