The initial SF340 flight tests were with "straight" nacelles, which presented the usual characteristics of propwash swirl. I think three airframes were built this way, and (1983) one by one they were reworked with canted nacelles, angled about 2 or 3 degrees to the right.

I have no knowledge specific to the 2000 with its bigger engines, but this is the background.
