Other than the instrument cluster are there any other visual clues that differentiate a Canadian 928 vs a US one? Plus is there anything mechanically different about the two?

No Vin tags on all panels...just the one on the fender and on the windshield. (at least on my 89GT).
The AC control panel will be in Celsius too...
Also, the options tag in the back will have C36 for Canadian delivery

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

My 87 has tags on all panels. Interesting. Is the 89 original paint?

Canadian cars are configured with metric guages; speedo (kms) and hvac (celcius).
They are also generally outfiited with heated seats and no rear a/c.
They also have metric fasteners and round black tyres.

My GTS has the VIN on the passenger front fender and is an ROW VIN.........ZZZ although the VIN on the drivers side windshield is correct for North America.
I also believe some Canadian cars may not have air bags where the same models sold in the US would.......timing of federal legislation perhaps?
