The country region codes were dropped after WA, since there were issues with mixing regions.
To make sure you don’t run into issues, WA needs to have the same region code as the base game but all others can be mixed and matches as you please (expect the Steam-Version which can only be mixed with Steam).
If you install manual incremental patches, make sure the region code of your base game matches the patch.
How can I find my version number without the launcher ?
The version number can be found in the file skuversion.txt. The file is located in the [Installation Directory] GameBin of the Expansions/Base Game folder
