I was just assuming becuase the sticker may say hp that it may be the same as the sony oem version an that firmware would be the same

Many companies are using the uj-120 they are ALL panasonic / Matsushita drives regardless of what is on the sticker. Sony made their flasher work only with sony systems so you cannot use it to crossflash. The flasher would need to be hacked to use their firmware with another UJ-120, it would work as every drive i have seen is electrically identical.
cheers
