...that's the simple answer.
Not quite. That is a simple answer...simple and
wrong.

Isn't the 780 blued, anyway? Should be easy to tell apart if it is.
That is
correct.
Originally, the HP9 had a 5-shot tube and the HP9-1 had a 4-shot tube. This meant that the 5-shot model was not completely compatible with the Remington 870 or the HP9-1. More recently, retailers have been advertising 14" barrel, 4-shot tube shotguns as "Norinco HP-9".
Buyer beware. If it matters to you, confirm barrel length, magazine tube capacity, metal finish, and the particular receiver features before buying.
