Wasn't the 600 from 1991 and it did not have KE Jetronic?

Googling some pics of the 1990 500 engine I found this pic

Is that a fuel distributor at the back? Does that mean it's KE?

and this pic of a 1993
which does not have that.

If it's true shouldn't this mean a 1990-1991 500 engine would have a lot worse power/torque curve than a 1992-? Which hopefully brings us close to topic..
I thought the V-12 came out in 92.
Yes it is. Yes it does.
No. The CIS-E makes good power and torque it just can't match the good emissions and fuel economy of a good sequential FI system.
