I think it more likely a 901447-29 with crtc initialization added.

Was there a different system board for the European thin 40 or was there 
just a different video board?  The system board would not need to be 
different and the power transformer could be wired to be either 220 or 
110 V. The ramp generator for the horzontal sync would have to be 
different. However, this could be accomplished by changing the capacitor 
in the horizontal ramp generator.
