ok....

when i turn the PSP around so its right side up, those letters (ICI003) are upside down on the right side

also, on the left, i can see some letters but cant make them out since theyre half covered by the metal

so, does this mean the PSP is a TA-082 model and cant be downgraded?

EDIT: but i can still safely upgrade it to 2.6 (using the US EBOOT) without any problems right? and still use eLOADER?
