Difference between Holden H186 and H186 engines

Holden Holden Advice
...
I have a 1968 Holden 186S motor with a Power Glide auto transmission, but I can't find any info on it. It has a gold air cleaner and oil cover, dual-throat Stromberg carby, two-into-one exhaust. What is the difference between this motor and the standard 186 red motor, and how many were made?

The 186S motor was a sporty six introduced in the HR model and continued in the HK, HT and HG models. It replaced the X2 twin-carb motor in June 1967, and had revised inlet and exhaust manifolds and a modified air cleaner. Peak power was 108 kW at 4600 revs and maximum torque was 249 Nm at 2200 revs. It's not a super rare engine.
