Oh dear - the motor number doesn't help.

My copy of the manual is in Dutch (which isn't a problem for me) but it might have a few translation issues.

The specifications are
engines up to 051028 (59kW) => 21 degrees before TDC
engines after 651953 (63kW) => 15 degrees before TDC

There's a big hole between those numbers where your engine number sits!

There's a pointer on the front of the engine and one on the flywheel through the inspection cover (much like old Land Rover engines as it happens)
