I’ll take a stab at your questions. Weber made a Smokey Joe Gold (SJG, Outrider) in a 14” and the Jumbo Joe Gold (Outrider) in a 18”. The vents are up on the side of the bowl and the nice lid lock is also a lid bale. I’m not sure what the pan is you found, I don’t believe the US versions had internal ash pans.
I could be wrong on some of this, if so I hope to be corrected and learn a little along the way
Congrats!
