Companies like Siemens and Stadler make trains for mainland Europe identical to the ones used in their home countries of Germany and Switzerland. But when companies here place orders for them they have to be built to a UK spec. The SPECIFICATION that typically includes not being double decker ever, and all the main components being beneath the carriages etc. But then there are also things like yellow fronts and orange lines bordering the roofs. Still, it's mainly to do with the loading gauge.
As for your claims for HS1 being 100% french built, only ONE of the companies in pic related is French.
