Tamiya did the tanks a little differently than the tractor trucks.  For the tractor trucks, the regular kit came with no electronics at all (except silver can) and the full operation kit came with radio system (but no MFC).  Sometimes they also offered a factory built option which included both the radio and the MFC.  For example, the 56314 is the regular Knight Hauler, the 56315 includes the radio, the 56316 is the metallic version, the 56315 is the metallic version with a radio, and the 23632 is the factory built version with everything.  For tanks, the "full operation kit" is the baseline and comes with lots of electronics including the MFC (sound module), DMD (speed controller), drive motors, and turret control motors and servos where applicable, but no radio system.  Starting with the 56005 Sherman in 1998 there have always been two versions available: one with radio and one without.  There were factory built options of some of the tanks as well.  Considering how much work it is to build and paint a tank, these were a real bargain.

Based on your information, it sounds like the tank kits sold in Europe did not include radio.  The tractor trucks are probably the same.  The radio editions must be Japan only.

Looks like 56366 is missing from the database.  It should be just like 56365 (Mercedes Benz Arocs 4151 8x4 Tipper) but without the radio.  Japan usually had the "full operation" version with the radio available while North America had just the plain kit.  Not sure which version was typically available in Europe.

According to TamiyaUSA, there will also be a 56379 version of the new Scania 77S 4x2 without the radio.

You're right. 
It's tricky to list the models not presented on the Japanese Tamiya.com site, so I miss some from time to time.
If anybody identify missing models, please let me know here.

A couple of missing Trucks and one Tank has been added to the database (56047, 56366 and 56379)
Now a question for you all:

Does/did kit 56341 exist?

I think it does.  Here is a Japanese web site selling one.

Just to be sure, you better buy it and have it shipped to me.

Just strange that there is so little information online.
Anyway, I'll add it to the DataBase

I saw that but I have no idea how definitive RC Scrapyard is.  All the photos they show are from 56342
 

The 56341 truck is now included in the database.
