I don't think the a/c is us... the suction line appears to be aftermarket, like what would come with a euro. the IP is CERTAINLY euro, the compressor is not in the picture, but I think I see a sanden compressor plate mount under the fuel filter.
the power steering pump lid nut is from an 84 or newer vehicle, the transmission is from an 81TD or an 81+ SD... the bumper appears to be euro, the aux fan mounts are not installed correctly. the body has the evil servo, so it's 80 max.
most likely, the engine came from a euro TD, assuming the pump is on the head... the problem with THAT is the wagons were all turbo in 84, the first year with the M pump... and the M pump is NON turbo... so it's unlikely the head is wagon...
