I think you'll find it read LT2000 and your eyes need checking. Most RA23 Celica's in Australia are LT2000's (this is the povo version by the way), but there are a few upper-spec ST2000 and GT2000 models kicking around as well.

From the firewall back they are nearly identical, but the front end is fairly different. The RA23 has a longer front and more "square" styling.

Actually it's the strangest thing... I did a Google image search for "RA23" and that's one of the pics that came up. It's my car but I've never seen it before with the 01 and I have no idea how it got there! Freaky...

Depends on your definition of "better". Some prefer the looks of the TA22, but the RA23 is newer, has better suspension and brakes, a bigger engine, and much more room in the engine bay for upgrades.
RA23's are pretty easy to find, although you do need to be careful as there are lots of dodgy ones out there. Rust is your enemy.

TA23's are also good, shameless plug but there is a nice example in the for sale section with a 2T-GEU
