500 SEL engine question

I know that the 500 engins that came to the US cars were different from the Euro engins. I believe the Euro had higher compression and different cams.
How about the engins shiped to Mexico and other countries. Is there any way to find out what market an engine was made for. I don't know and can't get the VIN for the doner car but was told it came from Mexico. It did not have the emissions (EGR, frequency valve, idle control, etc) the US versions had. I don't even know what year it is but was told it came from an 85 500 SEL with 89K miles. I know the 89K miles couldn't correct going by the wear in the valve guides, chain guides etc, so I can't believe any thing else I was told. Could anyone help? The car runs great but I would just like to know.
Thanks
