Look at the oil filter pedestal
There is a casting ridge that is thicker or thinner that runs from the base of oil filter pedestal to the dowel pin. That is usually a dead givaway for the rear iron.
front iron appears to have an oil port immediately next to (13B) stamp on the front housing.
the housings appear to be s5 turbo. Coolant holes on the exh side for the intake mani, and knock sensor ports above the spark plugs.
also your water housing assembly is undeniable s5 with three holes for the thermostat.
has 4 ports for intake…
There are many great threads and posts that highlight the differences. Banzai and other vendors have great pages and pics on their sites as well.
good luck 👍
Edit: to concisely answer you, it appears to be an s5 turbo.
