Far East Branch actually is one of (if no the) Branch with the best treatment. Since they are developing Aegis by the time of GEB, they are well funded and supported. It can be assumed that the New Type that joins there is the first in the world.

HOWEVER, the second thing makes sense. The New Type in FEB is a full model. Some prototypes can be hanging around.
