I found this somewhere. Written by the guy that wrote one of those Ducati history books. It would suggest an SPO is in a class by itself, and not an SP. "Both of the SPO's (93 and 94) engines are identical in every respect........including hp. The real difference is in production numbers (both incredibly small). First you have to remember that only the USA got the SPO or SPO LTD. They were the homologation examples used by Ferracci for AMA racing and I suspect that he is the reason we got this special machine and the rest of the world got the 888S (Strada). 200 of the 1993 SPO's were produced, imported and sold in the USA 100 of the 1994 SPO LTD's were produced and imported into the USA....but 25 were pulled back by Ducati N.A. were shipped back to Italy, when the 916 hit the U.S. market in 1994."
