I bought directly from OnePlus. You should get HD65AA.
If I remember correctly, the website uses your IP Address location to only show you what will work for your region. I'm on T-Mobile and have a global phone. You can unlock the bootloader without having to request an unlock token. I would recommend unlocking the bootloader before activation to be safe though.

I too am a US T-Mobile customer. I bought mine directly from One Plus a few days after release. You want the North American Model, which is HD1905. This will support T-Mobile's band 71 as well as band 12. The other poster would have you buy the International/Canada version which supports band 12, but does not support band 71. Personally, I'd be very upset if I had a brand new phone for T-Mobile in 2020 which did not support Band 71. Please, do not take my word for it, do your own research. Compare the band plan for model HD65AA versus HD1905. I can absolutely confirm my HD1905 supports band 71.
You can unlock the bootloader, but why? What would you gain? Without a working TWRP, their really are not very many custom ROMs available. I have been quite content with running the device generally as it is. Good luck and have fun...

You're right. I have the HD1905 with the HD65AA Rom. Good call

I made the mistake getting the US TMo - dud not know that generic ones also had their newer frequencies. I am going to get an 8 Pro, it is just coming out and there are more things going on with it then with my Mclearan 5G.

PS - 1st air cav? - old big red one here.
