In case you'd like to know for future reference, the 16D arm has a .600" long stack, and the S16D and S16C have .490" long stacks.

Like Parma did with their DeathStar and S16D motors (different colored endbells).

The S16D also has noticeably larger windings.

I think in your post #2 photo both motors are 16D. I do not have a Proslot S16D for comparison, The Proslot 16D will usually run faster than the Parma 16D. It's balanced, lighter, & in my opinion, made with better materials.
I intend to live forever! So far, so good.

I pretty much agree with Bill, except I think they are both Supers (based on the distance between the end of the stack and the back edge of the opening). I am looking at the motor in my 1970 Chevelle that won the Main Event in last night's Super Stock race at Pelican Park. (See my thumbnail photo).
They also appear to have foil "security seals" which were only used on early motors, both 16D & Super. So, yeah, 10years old sounds about right.
