HP-12C Platinum power

[AnnoyedOne]

While looking on eBay I came across this "Made in Philippines" HP-12C Platinum made in 2007/2017 (the serial number also starts with PHA7).

   

What is interesting (to me) is the orange (f) "OFF" label above the ON key. I'd never noticed that before.

So my questions are:

• Is this a "Made in Philippines" thing?
• Does one have to press f+ON to turn the unit off or is the the ON key a power toggle (per the 12CP manual* and HP-12C's)? I've seen one eBay listing for a 12CP claiming that it "won't turn off".
  

I know that the ON key on my HP-20S is not a power toggle and yellow+ON must be used to turn it off**.
