No, there are just two. That's because I didn't indicate where the Water Cooled WBXR began in my original post (neither did Bosch as they ignored when the Wbxr was intro'd) :-)

Air Cooled and Water Boxer Starters are the same from Vin 25-B-093610 (Air Cooled) and continued with the Water Boxer onwards in the middle of 1983.

Your Vin translates to 25-F-008214 (1985)
