Ken,
Yes, the label is the only difference on the computer that I can see. Of
course, the box had all the extra olympic tie-in stuff.
No, I don't have the fabled two drive DX-64... this was a modification I did
a few years back. You can read about it on my project page:
http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/myprojects.html
AFAIK, Commodore never marketed the DX although I understand a few prototypes
escaped. I did exhaustive browsing to find more info about it but could only
find a small reference on the Secret Weapons of Commodore site
(http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/secret/). One other thing I did find is
a line art drawing of the DX on none other than the "Executive 64" product
procure I collected at a World of Commodore show long ago, which I scanned and
can be seen here:
http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/computer/brochures/index.html
(notice the "DX" on the back of the keyboard).

Thanks Steve! I learned something knew about the Plus/4 today. I took a
look at some of the photos you have of your CBM/Amiga collection. Very nice.
:)
I didn't know that the Canadian models of the Plus/4 used +/4k on the label
instead of Plus/4. I guess the one that I owned (some years ago) was one from
the USA.
Also, I was wondering...The picture of your SX-64 shows 2 floppy drives.
Did you modify that one yourself or is that "as original"? I recall them
announcing a dual-floppy version of the SX-64 at the time but thought they had
decided against it.

Followup on TPUG discussion of LCD monitors that work on Amiga...
The model I have is an NEC 1550M 15" LCD monitor, with 1024x768
resolution.
Although not listed in the specs this monitor (at least mine) will sync
down to 15kHz.
There is one on ebay.ca now (even discounted): 150585732501
You can see the monitor here on my collection page working on several
amigas:
