Default Type RS imported, strpped out RA version? 1993 model. Can someone verify?

I have got a 1.8GL Subaru (1993) despite having a 2lt engine with big turbo, it has RA parts i:e roof scoop., type RA Nardi steering wheel and light weight parts. I have read that Subaru imported six subaru into the country with 2lt turbo engines. However, for UK car certificate reasons they had to be registered as a 1.8gl. Three went to Prodrive and three were retained by Subaru UK and subsequently sold on. The vin number starts with GC8.
I want to verify if this is correct as I think i may own one of the six which i am currently restoring it. Does anyone have any information on these models?
