Hello SawTroll,
I first wanna thank you for being so kind for sharing with me/us your knowledge : thankyou very much !!!
Now let's try to go forward
.
The following picture shows two top covers first one is from 1990 diagram, second one is from 1991 diagram :

As you can see my saw (and in this thing it is not alone as you can see from the other example saws I've posted) has a kind of hybrid cover :
both decals ("XP" and "Special") are present in a new configuration
. . . what was happening in those two years ?
Can we reasonably say that my 268 XP ported from 1990 had the cover replaced soon after it was built with the newer 268 Special cover ?
If things are so, can we also say that Husqvarna used for some of its 268 Special some older XP covers to which the factory just added the new "Special" decal in a new position ?
Hope my thoughts were clear enough and that language differences did not create a mess
