There's an ebay seller in your neck of the woods selling parts if you're needing any. He's got a 4200 cover but it has a couple of extra drilled holes in the top and a decent 5200 top cover.

The 4200 cylinder is the only one with a divider in the exhaust port if you're looking.

I seen that. And a muffler As well.

Picture says it is all...

Except it's missing the dollar signs.

Should have a model tag behind clutch cover if it's original.

Your absolutely right. There was so and its marked as a 4200. Thx

What does the exhaust port look like, open or divider in the middle?

I still have the 4200 tag on my case which I need to change over to 5200, 4200 case with 5200 top end.

That one have the studs in the top cover corners or screws. Mine has the studs, I took small vacuum fitting cap plugs and fitted over my studs, made to cover real snug, shouldn't vibrate one bit. Trying to make me a small knob with a step on the shoulder to fit the top bolt stud instead of a ugly nut and washer plus make air filter service easier.

Muffler looked open. Baffle with a spark arrestor. The top looks like it should take studs. But they are long gone. Ones snapped in the hole, which I can tap.

Roll pins are in mine, factory I assume. The other case had screws.

Sometimes you can make out like a bandit and get a few dirt cheap if not free. Last three was free.

Look like thick rings, confirming it’s a 4200?

Finished up a few saws recently, all needed minimal work and run very well. First was a 2900. First one I've done. Nice saw, better than I thought, did new fuel lines and it runs great. Took it in as cash plus trade for another plastic poulan I sold. 20" bar is optimistic but the guy who bought it was happy.
Next is this super clean 2800. This saw probably has 5 tanks through it. Rebuilt carb new fuel and pulse lines. Real snappy saw. I like this era the best, I never turn these saws down.
Finally a 1.8/10". First one of these I've seen. It runs good and with that 10" bar it will scream.
