MSDN (Visual Studio) Subscriber Downloads: How to select US-English download

I have bought the Visual Studio Professional Retail annual subscription for ~$2000 in Switzerland (would be $1200 in US) and in the subscriber downloads for Windows or Windows Server for example I can select the download language. I can select English, Chinese, German, etc. in the dropdown for the download. I need the US-English version, not the UK (international) English version. What version are these downloads (US or international) and how can I make sure I get the right version? Microsoft license support didn't know this and pointed me to this forum. If I cannot download US versions I need to cancel my subscription.

2021-01-05T21:33:24.967+00:00 Thanks for your screenshots. The dropdown name and filename and hash do match with my downloads. So there seems to be no difference in Visual Studio subscriptions based on that. That makes me wonder how the different English versions are selected. Maybe the "English" version includes both UK and US versions and they can be selected during installation and both are contained in the ISO image. I need to try that, but for now I'm happy that it matches your downloads. I assume you are in the US, can you confirm?

2021-01-05T20:55:18.947+00:00 I've also opened a case there and got a case number. That was more than two days ago and I haven't heard anything since then. I'll try to ask the phone support tomorrow and will comment here if that helped. Can you post a screenshot of how your dropdown looks like? Do you see US-English in the dropdown? You say you have "no problem finding them", so not sure what you mean exactly. You can find US-English or what? My language selection looks like in the attachment. Is yours different?
