As far as I know, the U & UA were the same set, with only a tiny engineering update for the A version. U is definitely USA, and the A is 2nd production and later. Other Sony suffix letters:
R=remote
S=cable-ready tuner
X=has multi-video inputs
A=late production
That 7010 isn't the same Trinitron tube we are all familiar with, though. It's basically a conventional envelope, with curvature vertically and horizontally on the face. All other Trinitrons from the earliest models, were vertically flat. I think I also heard the Chromatron rumor, and it may be partially correct, and would include all KV-7010 variations.
