Marc,
What you have there is quite right. Engines were all allocated their own
number, starting with FM (for 1500 engines). Chassis were allocated numbers
starting FH for Europe (although USA chassis were FM). The two are not
supposed to match.
The "HE" at the end of the engine number I think is something to do with it
being a high compression engine, as used in the UK and Europe, rather than
the lower compression engines sent to
emissions-are-more-important-than-performance USA.
There are those who know far more about all these numbers than I do (or
rather, than I can read out of the very brief summary in Rimmers catalogue),
who I'm sure will enlighten you further!
