Are the Japanese RadarLocks smaller than the regular ones?

I've read that the "Asia Fit" version of the EV Path doesn't have a different size, but I wonder if it's also the case with the RadarLocks.

When I look at pictures of Japanese men wearing RadarLocks, they seem to fit them way better than most people, as if they were made smaller.

As you can see below, the Japanese don't seem to have a wider/bigger head than other people, yet the RadarLocks don't look goofy on them.

Radar EV Paths have a different lens shape. They are shorter than non Asia fit Radar EVs
 
Asian fit radarlocks just come with a larger nosepiece installed. That is the only difference between them and the regular version.
 
From what I’ve been told Low Bridge ( Asian ) Fit Radarlocks are the same frame that hold the same lenses . The only difference is the detachable nose piece . The low bridge version is slightly thicker nose piece . Normally in the Low Bridge Radarlock’s the spare nose piece is a regular size version so you can swap as you feel comfortable. I hope this is the case as I’ve bought loads of Low Bridge Radarlocks as they do some pretty cool colours . And the Japanese Baseball styles that have some pretty cool Microbags .

Only difference between regular fit and asian fit Radarlocks is ths thickness of the interchangeable rubberized nose bridge piece. In the regular ones the thin one is fitted from factory, in the AF ones the thick one is. Lenses are exactly the same. Frames are exactly the same. The only other difference people may be confused with is with straight stem vs normal stem Radarlocks. The default normal stem for Radarlocks bows outside a bit as it comes out of the frame and then curves back to the sides of the head, whereas straight stems are pretty much... Straight.

Also AF Radar EV stems sit much wider on the head than normal Radar EV ones. Same thing happened in thr original Radar. If you line one of each next to each other and look at them from the top the difference in width os obvious.
