VA0 - nice.. never had one in my hands.. i know the BIOS eeprom uses a different voltage then on the VA1/2.1 - so you need a different chip for that (if you want to mod the bios). Frontplate could differ, too AFAIK..
Also the pcb is (at least) a little bit different, so i wouldn't recommend trimming it. especially because it's a nice & rare VA0.
