Perhaps the most curious change. In the Japanese Hitler no Fukkatsu, the agent with Joe's machine gun is called シュワルツァネッガー (Shuwarutsaneggā) and the two fakes have really similar names spelled slightly differently, シュワルツェネッガー (Shuwarutseneggā) and シュワレツェネッガー (Shuwaretseneggā) to be precise. It seems the small puzzle was going to be presented in a similar fashion in English, but got dumbed down by having the three agents use numbered codenames instead.
Also, while the rest of the line can't be seen completely in the screenshot, it lacks the "A" in "need for a machine gun?".
