R = reconditioned by the factory, and re-stamped so what is inside will be a good guess

In my experience SFBR and SFCR were the engine# prefixes on VWSA factory rebuilds with new Brazilian or Mexican cases. You may have scored a luck.

Hecho en Mexico
I went to see a Beetle a while back and posted it here on the forum, on the case it was stamped Hecho en Mexico...
