Yes, additionally you have these installed (in blue). I haven't found what module supplies the 2nd LVDS input, I would guess it's the Japanese nav unit. Search continues!

Edit: yes, the 2nd LVDS is from your Nav Unit.

Bloody good info there.

I'm happy to photograph and document my MMI system for you if you need to compare and remove all the jap interface stuff.

If as you say the different text requires a better display it may be possible that the screens better.

Could possibly rework the switch over device so an external trigger switched the display to a car pc type of unit mmmm need to do more digging.

But can't till get the Mac repaired

That's exactly what I thought Del. I did lookup all of the MMI screens and the part number only referred to PR codes with or without aluminium trim. Where a PR code of 8UV (High-level radio for China) or 8DZ (Radio "HIGH" Japan) was listed it only referred to a different adapter cable loom, probably the longer loom as it goes to that switching box.
