Forgive my American and very limited knowledge of cars, but what's a "catalyser"? If these are in the American 240s, why don't ours have that logo on them?

What's the deal with the 2.0L engine? I see on this page that some 2.0L engines were used in 240s, but I've never come across any examples before. At least in the US, I thought that Volvo was only putting 2.3L engines in the 240s after the conclusion of the turbo and diesel lines. Was it different in the UK? Were there ever 2.0 and 2.3L 240s produced simultaneously in the same country? Was there any way to distinguish between the engine sizes in 240s, other than the country of origin?

The car was registered in 1991. Does that mean it is a 1990 or 1991 model (or could it be some other year entirely)? I thought they stopped with the "GL" designation after 1989 (DL stood for GL, and former DLs were now just "240"). Was it different in Europe/the UK?

My post has aroused a series of questions about US/UK differences in 240s. I appreciate the time anyone takes to answer them!
