Oh, there is one distinguishable change.  For '85 the 4Kq is officially
the "4000S quattro", whereas for '86 and '87 that changed to "4000CS quattro".

So, if you see a "new-style" bodied 4Kq badged as "4000S quattro", chances
are it's a 1985 model.

This change is also mirrored in the 5K series, where all the turbo models
went from "S" to "CS" designation too.
