what distinguishes US models from european?
a few things i have on my list:
- KM speedo
- non-sealed beam headlights
- windshield tempered vs laminated?
what else am i missing? without a birth certificate for my car, i'm trying to determine wether or not is was a US import. my speedometer had been changed out for a later dated one; my fenders are incorrect leading me to believe the headlights may be incorrect; and finally i have no idea how to tell whats up with the windshield
any help would be much appreciated.

Bumpers. European spec bumpers don't have towel bars.

All US imports were DeLuxes, so if it is a Standard with cable brakes its Euro or Standard with juice brakes , it's Canadian.
Although, I'm sure you are already aware of that much,
