Well the confusion so far possibly surrounds the subsequent history of the first 2 Turbos of 1983, 1 being uprated from a 1300 and the other freshly built.

I would suspect that one of these ended up as the 84 Taft car and the maybe went to Germany so that ARG/Dowson could run 2 brand new cars for the 84 BTCC? It would certainly make sense from a marketing perspective as the BTCC was the main focus so it would've been better to spend most money on 2 new cars.

I'll see if I can upload some old pics of the cars to add to the general 'weight' of the thread.
