My book is not with me at moment, i tried to enlarge the picture in a post above(the one with front and back cover) but it went too grainy on my small fone

A U.K. version would be nice

Stev-o,

I couldn't find "S50" or "SS50".

I dont see it either, thanks for looking.  My buddy, an ex-Honda tech, said it's not a model that was imported into the US.  The guy I bought it from was Asian, barely spoke English and prolly didnt know what he had. Oh well, it's just a learners bike for my daughter.

Stev-o, is that a new Corvette hiding in your garage?

Yes, good eye!  My good friend took delivery back in Oct, he's having a garage built and didnt have a place to store it.  Being the good friend that I am, I offered my garage for it! [and yes, I have the key].
Awesome car...

 Please excuse my ignorance here, I have accidentally become a CB750 enthusiast only recently. I have  what appears to be a K3 model with a manufacture date of 11/72 ( vin number 2213926 ) on the frame. The engine is also a K3 ( at least according to the book ) but it is different from the number on the frame ( engine shows 2216984 ) . Did this happen at the factory, or is this just an old engine swap? This thing is a crusty barn find that hasn’t been on the road since the eighties ( 12,000 mls showing on the odo ) . Also, would this be considered an early K4 or just a late K3? Thanks for putting up with such silliness, and I am sorry if this is not the correct thread for this type of question.

Honda engine and frame numbers maych so rarely there is usualy something wrong if they do

There are a lot of reference resources here for you to study.
If you plan to work on it, get Hondaman's book in addition to a factory shop manual. Must haves.
Welcome!
Post photos when you can.

My 11/72 K3 frame is 2215284, engine is 2213580, I got the bike from the original owner, a friend of mine. Engine was never out.
Also, I'm told I have a late K2 head on it from the factory.
