Canon Product Codes

I am considering buying a Canon DSLR for AP using my 127ED. I am seriously looking at the Canon 600D, as it seems to have all the features I require and is within my price range.
The camera is listed on several web sites within AUS as 600D or 600DTKIS or KIS X5 600D, with the KIS models being subsantially cheaper, up to $100 less.
One site states the following:
"This model is Canon EOS Kiss X5. “Kiss X5” is the International model name for the Canon EOS 600D. The two models are identical in features and functionality"

Is that true? If they are identical, why the price difference? I understand the difference with "grey market" overseas items and local, but not the term KIS.
