SF340 is official type designator for Saab 340, applicable to all produced Saabs 340. There is no conflict of information as it can only happen when conflicting data is coming from the similar weight sources. Your data coming from SAL which is nothing more than sales & marketing BS. My numbers are coming from Saab 340 Reliability Report published by Saab AB as TC holder for operators and it contains the actual data about every single S/N produced. I don't think this document is published in open sources.
