While true that the electronic controls are different, EU has had everything but the SCR system for many years - the EGR, DPF & Oxidation Catalyst that is part of the DPF cannister.
For that reason, I find it very hard to believe that the carbon buildup being seen in some engines is due solely to the presence of EGR.
