Almost any printed matter can and will have errors, including factory docs
factory spec for 930/20 has the correct NM but incorrect lb-ft
correct
net torque to SAE J 1349 205 ft-lbs@4800 = 278 NM
net torque to DIN 70020 284NM = 209lb-ft
so printing or translation error or just using a different measuring standard can all contribute
