Actually many different sources, the decoder can be found here in a previous post on Rennlist, also on Pelican Parts, and a google search turns up many different sources. The explanation I posted came from the PCA.

Yes, engine code M44/52 (stamped on the block pad) is for the 88 "S" and the 89 (S was dropped in 89 since only 1 turbo model was built....88 was the only year where there were 2 turbo models built). All 89's are were built to "S" spec.

Internal (chassis) code 952 is for the right hand drive cars.

Also 1990 & 1991 model year cars had M44/52 stamped on their blocks.
