I picked up a 990 awhile ago. Starts and runs well but no bar so I haven't tried it yet. No time it seems. I never spent so much time getting the rock hard gunk of a saw before Looks good now.

Remington seemed to make alot of small changes to a saw that couldn't have been a huge seller.
Mine was assembled in the Toronto plant. It looks like yours has the threaded tip on the crank. clutch side, for a 7/16 nut like mine looking at your photo. Most don't apparently.
Mine doesn't have anywhere to attach the shield over the muffler like the US models.
Your exhaust is too big for that heat shield. Also, different recoil and flywheel and choke setup. Wrap handle style changed.
So, maybe not a later saw but a Canadien one?

Yes. Assembled in the old Mall plant in Toronto which closed in 1985.
I was only pondering if the changes are due solely to being manufactured in Canada. Others have said yours is a later saw and that explains all the differences.

I picked up a 770 at the same time. They would have done well to pitch the Carter ND carb on that one.

I’m still alive for now. The good Lord hasn’t brought me home yet. How are you sir? I feel like I’ve been working non stop for weeks. Was down in Beaumont for a bit helping with the flooding

Speaking of Mag II's, I am currently in possession of what I feel like is a good useable 56mm 056 top end.
