[Ducati] 98 916 model info

[gagordo]

I've been asked to lend assistance in promoting the sale of a 98 916. It 
was said to be an "R" designation. Being a 2valve owner, I'm not up on 
the model year designations of the SBK line.
 The numbers below are all that has been made available, and I have not 
been able to go see the bike as yet.
 Do these number help any way identify what type of 916 this might be?

Thanks for any info.
