This is a LG BU40N. Simply use SDFTool Flasher and flash it to BU40N 1.03-MK. You can leave it at that or then flash it to BU40N 1.00 for wider software compatibility, if you use ripping software other than MakeMKV.
Cheers :D

Can anyone let me know what I need to do for this so that it can be used for UHD discs? Looks like the firmware is before the encryption, but I still can't read UHD discs. - Thanks!
