Default Identify my ECU

Can somebody help me with this, I am trying to find out that year/type ECU this is.

It came from my RS Turbo. My car was late 90 Spec and when I had it chipped at power Engineering they swapped it for a different ECU but it has no stickers on it so I am a bit stuck. So far I have had a suggestion saying it must be a early Series2 ECU or a Series 1 ECU due to the part number on it V86.

Anyway here is the picture...

as i already posted it is a heart diamonds hash ecu, all other escort rs turbo ecus have a differnt type of sticker with the colour codes on them the hearts diamond hash ecu is the only one with that type of sticker


hearts diamonds hash=s2 knock sensor 90 spec cars




blue red black=s2 knock sensor 88-89 cars





blue red white=s2 no knock sensor 86-87 cars



blue red blue= s1 no knock sensor
