The difference of 4 HP between japan and North America due to « emissions regulations » could be as simple as adjusting the redline a bit, which would change max power on a high revving engine.
Anyone saw other data points ?

You're thinking too hard. These subjects have all been beat on. 99.99% chance both are 12.5:1 CR. As for the HP difference, it doesn't even matter how they did it, it's just a regulation difference. The power difference has been the case for so many cars in the past in different regions. Not sure exactly what other data points you would be looking for.
