Seen on the main Japanese Tak site there is a announcement for a upgrade on the polar scopes for the NJP/JPZ to extend the usability to 2050.

Hi Gavin,
24v was one of the EM400 variations
One variation had separate 12v and 24v inputs for normal speed (12v) and high speed (24v) modes.
The newer EM400's (past 12-16 months) only have a 12v port.
Interestingly enough the latest EM400 still has the Normal and High speed modes. They must ramp up the voltage internally now depending on what mode you select. I havent done any hands on elecrical for quite a while but with todays components this is pretty easy to do on the required scale and also drive it by software.
As for the spare port it is referenced by takahashi as an "upgrade port". I have not yet been able to track down what this means. In my version the panel actually has a Mini DIN-4 (SVH-S Style) port there rather than the blanked out panel.
Cheers
