Firmware Update impossible Archer MR600

Hello,
it seems like im facing issues with my TP-Link Archer MR600 and can not solve them by myself.
I would like it to update to Firmware "Archer MR600(EU)_V2_210914", because there ist WPA3 mentioned which I would like to activate. Also the 4G / 3G Bug seems to be resolved.
on the Firmware update Tab it always says my Firmware is up to date and when I try to update it via the downloaded file the upload stops around 33 % with Error code 4503:
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or do I have to change some setting first?
Thanks in advance for your help :-)
Best regards, Tim

Hopefully one of these old EU versions will do the trick (start with 1.5 then work down).

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried the images in the sequence as you requested. None of them worked however.
The results are as follows:
1.5.0_0.9.1 - Immediately shows error code 71211
1.3.0_0.9.1 - Uploads to 10% then shows error code 4503
1.2.0_0.9.1 - Uploads to 10% then shows error code 4503
1.1.0_0.9.1 - Immediately shows error code 71211
1.0.0_0.9.1 - Immediately shows error code 71211
Beta 211229 - Uploads to 10% then shows error code 4503
Beta 211018 - Uploads to 10% then shows error code 4503
I still think that the current image is locked to only accept ZA-N localised firmware, so a custom ZA-N localised image that removes that restriction is required. (or which changes it to accept EU images)
The firmware at this link works:

That is starting to make sense. If correct, Archer MR600(EU)_V2_220105 would have a localised 'ZA' version that would serve as a 'middle-firmware' to EU..

I have again tried version 1.6.0_0.9.1 that you mentioned, just to confirm, and it also immediately stops with error code 71211.
Current version installed on the router is 1.0.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 210804 Rel.46439n.

I have tried the custom ISP image you suggested and it also failed after uploading to 10% with error code 4503
It looks like the same image that was suggested to someone else in the thread, I actually tested that one last night.
I also tried the previously suggested DREI_TO_EU custom image last night with the same result, so it doesn't work either - which I expected but tried anyways.
