As far as I know, apart from the boot on the air mass sensor and the downpipe 
assembly including the OXS sensor, the MB and the 1986 MC are pretty well 
physically identical.  MAC12 vs. MAC11, but you know more about that than I do.

So the 1988 ur-quattro was fitted, essentially, with an engine that had been 
shipping in the USA for two years.  A year later, the North American MC was 
updated with a second knock sensor, new diagnostic connectors, and the MAC14 - 
this variant never made it to the ur-quattro.

The North American implementations have a few extras such as activated carbon 
canisters, etc.
