This has almost always been true, we just don't say it out loud. Our top military tech has a "home" version and an "export" version.

Every country does that when exporting military tech.

I imagine that countries that have purchased jets from the US have some of their own equipment they install post sale that the US does not officially know about.

The US does servicing on their jets so unlikely.
