I believe that in all the major components they are the same. There may be some minor component changes here and there but in the major physical components they are identical.

There have been some posts about missing sensors, the hard top will be a Japanese built car, the soft top Spanish, this might make a difference.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Look at the sensors fitted to the hard top cam, crank or both together, and make sure the soft top has the same.

I'm sure I read posts about having to change the oil pump housing between engines to solve this problem.
