The last of the b-engines supposedly went out the door in 1980. 1981 was the first of the h-engine (cam-driven distributor) cars, but still pre-APC. Given the ease of swapping a 1981 B201 (h-engine) with a 1980 B20 (b-engine) I would not be surprised to see someone do that - back in the mid '80s b-engines were relatively plentiful, and someone who'd blown up their B201 would surely be tempted to install a cheaper B20 as a replacement. It's also possible that '81 could be either and "end of the b-engine" production car, or a 1980 unsold holdover that was resold as an '81. Several small-volume car manufacturers have been known to do that... many speculate my 1995 Alfa 164Q is just an unsold 1994 model...
