Hi Dave,
             Sounds as if you have a grey market piano on your hands.  The
data
plate is how Japanese institutions keep a service record on the instrument.
The
two pedals were made for the far east markets.  The bass strings are quite
often shot due to industrial pollution, probably some dealer did a bit of a
clean up job on the strings before selling them.

The majority of grey market instruments in our area, need re pinning and
stringing after a year or so. If you live in a dry climate start checking glue
joints on the bridge, cap, and ribs.

Hope this may help.
