VL engine manufacturing codes

[EX_FORD_BOY]

hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone can help differentiate between the engine codes for the standard 3Litre and the Turbo?

My brothers standard 88 VL has the engine type printed in the engine bay plate as eng: LF1

The transmission is TRANS: ML4
For a turbo it is MS1

I would like to find out as i am considering looking at a turbo and want to make sure i dont get one that is a non factory original.

Anyone out ther who can help or check their engine code plate in their engine bay?

Cheers
