To the OP:
In the case of FD, as mentioned earlier, the engine internals are identical. Externally the differences are usually associated with emissions, including wiring. But there are other small differences. Off-hand there were differences in water pump housings, the OMP and OMP injectors, turbos, intercooler piping and engine management... all changing over the years.
On a side note, it's been my observation that "routine maintanence" means something completely different in some asian countrys. So buying all that silly RHD JDM'ness can have unseen consequences.

Edit: I re-read the post and noticed your comparing engine parts, assuming the same engine. Kegs should all be somewhat similar. 13b's fall in three major categories: old 13b, new 13b, renesis 13b. See housing differences here: http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/2n...g_differs.html Due to different engine mounts, watch out for compatibility with side/intermediate housings. Best to stay in series with these.
