And for whatever it's worth, the two Fluke 17x's I have owned definitely had "Made in USA" (not "Assembled in...") imprinted in the plastic on the back.

The EFSP option must be the best kept secret in the industry.  Usually the additional codes, like EDA2, refer to an included accessory like a test lead kit.  I did see one website selling an 'EFSP bundle' that included a non-contact pen voltage detector, but IDK.

Yes, older handheld industrial Flukes, including my 2010-era 289, usually were 'Made in...', but the 189 seemed an interesting exception given its age. 
BeBuLamar:
My 189 2004 said "Made in USA". My 289 2017 doesn't have a made in or assembled in. My 287 2022 said "Assembled in USA".
Fungus:
My 187 and 27 both say "Made in USA".

My 101 doesn't (surprise!)

Now that you mention that, I acquired my 189 in 'run-over-by-a-truck' condition and I replaced the battery door with one from eBay.  The markings are molded into that cover, so it may have been intended for a newer instrument like the 789 or something like that.  So I made my own erroneous data point!

My 289 and 287 share the same battery holder and the holder that came with the 287 which is newer said "Assembled in USA" and the 289 holder doesn't say where it's made or assembled.
