I was trying to figure out what's different between the S@H bulk bricks list
for UK as opposed to US which is 3 pages shorter.

If you open up two explorer windows into S@H bulk bricks one specifying UK
and one US, as soon as you browse in one window at the bulk bricks, the
little nationality flag on the other window promptly changes to be the same
and the list becomes the same!

Is this deliberate? To stop people easily comparing? I can't even imagine
how the two explorer windows can interact like this....

It's programmed to do that via script.   I suspect it isn't for so nefarious
a purpose as you suggest, but rather to prevent some fairly nastly program
bugs/loopholes.  If it does a forced refresh on all open windows,, you can't
do things like order something in one window, remove it from your cart in
the second window, and then complete the now-corrupt order in the first window.
