The Belize or Baikal southbridge on the Slim or Pro console is not tied to the chassis model. The southbridge varies across different consoles. All chassis can have a different board model with a different southbridge. CUH-70xx is the exception. It has only one board model variation with the Belize southbridge.
A and B suffixes show the drive variant: 500GB or 1TB.
