The 12CP was created to add a near-12C financial calculator with algebraic operation to the product lineup as the EU market (for financial use at least) were not willing to adopt RPN-based models. Since grafting-on algebraic features was no longer feasible (Nut CPU development was all done in assembler) they chose to reimplement the machine from scratch in C on a readily available and cheap CPU, and so.... that's why while it is very similar, the internal math and results are not identical.
