I've my doubts that the will build in different engines or different specs. 10 hp will be an allowed deviation of total 170 hp (smaller than 10 %).

True - engines are the same but probably just a little difference in engine-mapping (software).
When the actual 2.0HDi had 140hp instead of 136 or 138hp, here in Belgium it would be significantly more expensive in taxes.
That's also the reason that the 2.0TDi VAG engine, normally having 140hp, has 136hp in Belgium.
Stupid, but true....
