In '86, most of Europe still had the S2 16V 310hp 4.7L engine, but with the suspension found on the S4.
Japan and Australia both got the '86 32V engine, along with S4 suspension for all of model year '86 (same specs as are known as 86.5 in US). Australian 928's are RHD, so easy to tell apart from US ones. Japanese 928s are mostly LHD (quirk of Japan - they prefer to buy their european sports cars with the steering wheel on the same side as the home country).
So, very high odds are the 32V engine you're looking at from '85/'86 is a US/Canada car.

Thanks very much for the clarification.
