Correct, the later 748E engines had a "stepped" front cylinder head with the cam pulleys in a slightly different location.

This was so the same engine components could be used in the monster and allow clearance for the front wheel (common parts program after Texas Pacific takeover)

I discovered all this when I had a set of virtually new E heads intended to replace my existing Bip ones. They're not interchangeable, so were cannibalised for parts instead.....
