Can any P10 Lite with EMUI 5 be upgraded to EMUI 8?

[LordOfTheThings]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any posts about this topic.

I recently came into possession of an unlocked P10 Lite, which currently has EMUI 5.1.,1 build WAS-LX1C432B184 on it. I see a lot of posts about P10 Lite EMUI 8 and I was wondering whether this implies that any P10 Lite can get an EMUI 8 update or are there two P10 Lite models on the market with each having a different OS version? Neither the updater app on the phone nor HiSuite will offer me an upgrade to EMUI 8, so this confuses me a little.

Having that option would be nice, because there are some very nice-looking ROMs on this forum which I'm hoping to try out, but most of them have the prerequisite of already having EMUI 8.

If you have android 7 you can use HWOTA 7, of course for that you need an unlocked bootloader, there is no way around it.
