Nikasil or Alusil based on engine number?

Anyone who knows if it's possible to make out if I have Nikasil or Alusil cylinders based on the engine number? The engine number is 911/92 / 6142169, a 1974 coupe delivered in November 1973.

Thanks!

Maybe. I'd start with the Anderson Book.

Here is an excerpt from Anderson's book.
