Can you identify if this is a 750 or a 850 by just looking at it?

I have a xs850 with bad compression. And came across this one for sale but they don't know if it's 8 or 750


Would a 750 fit right in and match the attachment points and drive shaft?

On the front base of #1 cylinder, cast into the cylinder block on the 850 in my shed is the marking 823cm2. I can't clearly remember exactly the last 2 digits but you get the idea.

I have no idea if the the motor is a direct swap or if the shaft coupling will match.

Is this what you would call the face? Left side or right side is number 1?
And like stamped near the exhaust?

I don't think the XS750 had an oil cooler.
