From the manual many parts looks very much identical to our 5 year old Siemens. Somewhere a generic technical design was developed, and the washing and rinsing process is likely the same in all machines of today.

In actuality, Bosch absorbed Siemens home appliance division in 2015. Bosch units are a novel design compared to other manufacturers, nothing generic about it.

I looked for some info and found this. I get the impression the EU market is a little less diversified, maybe as EU regulations push apparatus towards a certain configuration. In each and every home I visit the dishwasher inside parts and location of filters and in- and outleds looks very standard, with some minor display and basket differences.

That article has a cool evolving history of dishwasher design. And I'd be surprised if things weren't less diverse in the market, honestly. One important thing I would add is that Bosch is one of the most popular dishwasher manufacturers worldwide and their products are offered under multiple brandings. This and the fact that they all effectively function the same easily corroborates your findings, without making anything generic about it.

All I can tell you is at the end of the day, your Siemens is literally a Bosch manufactured unit.
