The later D4's sr # 7U26583 -up were slightly increased draw bar horse power from 43 to 48. This was done by raising the full load rpm and a balancer was added to cope with vibration closer to critical speed. Easy to spot if you look at the front of the oil pan you can see the rounded bulge to the left of the crankshaft where the balancer lives.
