After all, these are European cars so the "RoW spec" is the one and only original/correct spec for these

For MY 84 there were 2 engine specs all RoW 930/20 and US/J 930/21
For MY 85/86/87/88 there were 3 engine specs all RoW 930/20 and US/J/FGR-M298 930/21 and Sweden/Switzerland/Australia 930/26
For MY 89 there were 2 engine specs all RoW 930/20 w/o cat and all other 930/25 w/ cat

the 1972 911T... (with the exrtra oil door), the US spec cars had 10 more hp than the ROW cars. US had the MFI for US emissions regulations.

Just like to point out that all Metzger engine 911 variants from '94 up have forward mounted oil tanks if that's important to you

'72 and slightly less so '73 were sweet spots for US users In '72 there was only one world wide version of the 911T, and one worldwide version of the 911E and one worldwide version of the 911S, In '73 US cars got the funky rubber bumper blocks(a minor irritation), then lost MFI on the T halfway through the year and didn't get the most desirable version of all, the 911RS, because Porsche wouldn't jump through US certification hoops.
