This calculator looks similar to the first TI-30 Galaxy but uses an enhanced display.

Like the TI-30 Galaxy the production of the TI-52 started in Japan and was shifted later to Italy. You need some time to discover the small differences between them. Main reason is the new position of the display due to a complete different internal construction. View the Italian TI-52 and compare the details.
