The newer ones from around 1994 were marked Gilardoni 241 A, B, C, where B was 242, so I always get confused about which was 246 and 42 special.
I looked at Magnus and the cylinder numbers and I don't think I gave them there, but from the outside it looks like a regular 42, I definitely gave the serial number
On those with the start cover Special they had decomp, on those with the top cover Specialc they didn't have decomp.

The only one they should have called special is with the Gilardoni 241 cylinder
I don't think there was a difference except that the orange top cover had a special decal, while the gray top cover had 42 printed.
The decal on the starter cover was also different, the one for the orange top cover was silver while the one for the gray top cover was gray.

Later, there was a starter cover with 42 special, around 1992 and newer.

But, I've never had a 42 special from that era myself, ie, older then 1992.
