In both interpretations, 'N in *V is the standard model of PA. This 'N may look different externally but it looks like N in the ZFC set theory (the meta-theory).

Where things get interesting is when we have a separate notion of "standard" set in the meta-theory (i.e. if the meta-theory is IST instead of ZFC), and then a meta-theoretic notion of "standard model" means "the initial model that is standard" as opposed to just "the initial model".
