All three spec sheets must be European.

I believe that only one engine was offered in North
America in any given year.  

Only the 380SEC was imported to N. America '82 and
'83.  Only the  500SEC was offered in '84 & '85, and
the 560SEC beyond.  I have never seen a 420SEC North
American version.  

Anybody know better?
