The STW and BTCC Peugeot 406s were two completely different cars. The STW ones were built in-house by Peugeot Sport France, the BTCC ones by MSD. For reasons best known to themselves, Peugeot Sport refused to supply cars or engines to anyone else and that included Peugeot UK.
Part of the difference would have been down to aero-kits, as we know from Vauxhall/Opel what works in Germany doesn't always work on UK tracks, but there was also said to be significant differences in engine and chassis development.
