It will never be OBD2 compliant as this is a USA standard for cars sold in the USA only.
Ford uses ecu's manufactured in the USA and some of them support the EOBD/OBD2 protocols before it was mandatory. I think it starts with the EEC-V. As fas as I know the EEC-IV does not support this.

It's not OBD2, it's a sort-of OBD-I..
