well besides the part number, none of the US literature mentions an engine number. here you would need to look at some original cars.

from 9/73 to 10/74 the engine part number was 1757-23-200. 13B, big port, non nitrided, so black irons, the big font Mazda rotor housings. in the US we get a thermal reactor.

10/74 and later the part number is 3565-23-200. should be the "mazda automobiles" rotor housings. smaller ports. still non nitrided, so irons will still be black
