Stihl 026 identification

[BrettS]

I have a Stihl 026 (225978187) and a Stihl 026 pro (x 141719483).
I am trying to find out the differences between the two, the years and country of manufacture.
I believe the 026 pro is a late model saw and not as tidy as the 026 and I want to build a tidy saw.
I have looked extensively at part number sites and read one quite a while ago that had the ID of the Stihl saws (year and country of manufacture) but I can no longer find it. Can anyone tell me what I have?.
