PAL and NTSC machines use different Agnus chips:

252125-01	IC 8361 AGNUS NTSC	AMIGA-1000
252362-01	IC 8367 AGNUS PAL	AMIGA-1000
318069-02	IC 8372 FATAGNUS	AMIGA-2000			
318069-03	IC 8375 HIRES AGNUS	2M A-3000
318069-10	IC 8375 R2 AGNUS HR	PAL SMT A-500+/A-600
318069-11	IC 8375 R2 AGNUS HR	NTSC SMT
318069-16	IC 8375 R01M HR AGNUS	PAL 65NS AMIGA-2000
318069-17	IC 8375 R01M HR AGNUS	NTSC 65NS AMIGA-2000
318069-18	IC SM CSG 8375R0 SUP	AGNUS
318070-01	IC 8370 R3 FAT AGNUS	NTSC AMIGA-500
318071-01	IC 8371 R1 FAT AGNUS	PAL AMIGA-500
390544-01	IC 8375 FAT AGNUS	AMIGA-500+
390544-02	IC 8375 AGNUS 2 MEG	NTSC A500+

Older Agnus chips are either fixed to PAL or NTSC, never chips can be 
preconfigured by grounding a pin and/or switched via software.

Chris
