Default How to tell if a B20B is JDM or not?

I was wondering how you can tell if a B20B block is JDM or USDM?

JDM motors don't have a number after the last letter of the block code, USDM motors do....

example->JDM: b16a USDM:b16a2

Is it true that all JDM B20B's have the 9.6:1 cr pistons in 'em (ie. the 146hp CRV vs. the 126hp CRV here with the 8.8 cr pistons)?

The guy that I bough the block from, his sister has a CRV, and the block is labeled "B20B" even though it is a USDM motor!
No numbers after the B ... so...
