900ss Frame What Year ?

Hi all .. I bought a couple of parts from greedy bay which were meant to be for a Pantah .. Turned out not to be when I collected them .. however the guy also had what he thought to be a frame from the same bike which if I wanted I could go back for.
Just got back and the frame is from a bevel 900ss .. As with the other parts its covered in a very thick layer of paint so I can't yet uncover the frame number. Are there any distinguishing features that separate the years ?
Looks as though in its past it was prepared for racing .. its got a few extra braces and has had some parts drilled including the shock mounts .. All the Best.

. Have now engaged brain a bit .. The colour of the frame inside the headstock is red as are parts of the swinging arm so i guess it could be probably from a MHR ..one other obvious thing which looks unaltered is that the battery tray is ss size as opposed to a darmah electric start size .. Were any MHR's kick start only ?..Thoughts welcomed ..

If I were you , get to it and remove the paint from the frame so you can see the numbers only then can you be sure what you have
Battery tray size was smaller on MHR, SS etc
