I think thats an import. No alarm LED. Nothing wrong with imports, just good to know before you buy.

what else gives it away that its an import?

The alarm led is up on the door lock switch, fitter must have decided it'd look better there :dapprove:.

No alarm, no locking wheel nut and no window etching. Basically everything to bring it up to CAT1 standard.
