NAD C555 is really a Rega P2 + OEM RB251?

Hello,
anyone has information if the NAD C555 is exactly a rebranded Rega P2 turntable?
I'm trying to clarify if the tonearm fitted on it is a OEM version of the Rega RB251. I read on the Hoffman forum an ex-dealer claiming the tonearm on this table is an hybrid from a RB251 tube and a RB101 base. One thing that caught my attention is that the NAD user manual says that has 9 gr of effective mass and not 12gr. as the regular Rega arms. The arm tube looks to me like a 251.
Thanks in advance.
This is the tonearm:
