Type 2s got a Type 4 engine option from '72 in some markets, I believe.  The same happened with Type3 dual carb engines in around 1965, which Jim noted a few months ago, when he found lots more engines made than Type 3  cars

The difference may be about emission control devices and adjustments. The 1.8 definitely had a lot for the CA market.

Yes, they will have been built in the same place for both cars and have a single run of engine number/engine code combinations. You would never have EC 000 001 in a 412 and another EC 000 001 in the 914.
