YS3AL35L3P2019777:

Car line: A (Saab 900)

Body: 3 (3-door)
Gearbox: 5 (5 speed manual)

I'm not good enough at US-specific saabs e.g. CE but I've noticed the difference in engines. CE has B202R engine whilst simple M93 has an ordinary 202L. 'R' stands for performance for Saab engines:
201C-201I-201S-201L (carburator, injector, turbo w/o intercooler, FPT classic 8v H-engine)
234I-234S-234L-234R (injector, LPT, FPT, AERO - 2.3 for 9K)
and so on
FIY here's Valkyrie's VIN:
YS3AD35S2P2015952 (Val's 3D hatch from Germany and of M1994 model year! no b/s, I can shoot and post vehicle cert)
Engine: B202,TURBO,4-CYL,4-CYL TURBO,PETROL - YES, IT'S DARN LPT, NO INTERCOOLER (loud cryings coming to hardly heard sobs)
Car line: A (Saab 900)
Market: L (for internal use only)
Body: 3 (3-door)
Gearbox: 5 (5 speed manual)
Engine: S (B202 4-inline, Turbo) - see above :(
control digit: 2
Model year: P (1993)
Assembly plant: 2 (Trollhattan, Sweden, Line B)
Serial number: 015952
I take it they had a plenty of C900 in stock in 1994 and sold them with a rebate. But stamped 1994 as the model year although it's M1993 according to VIN and common sense.
Back to your question (if I got it right way) CE should be M1993 having B202R engine. Gonna check CE pages out to see how much hps did they specify for CE (I think it'd be not less then 185).
