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.

Normally the mexican cases are also stamped "Henco en mexico" (Spelling) if I remember correctly
