now that would explain all the early Aussie / NZ bikes mine included I think you will find they are all the 5/84 53g < 500 were released as RZ 500" L " models . the "N" models came later 1985 or Mk 2's as some people call them and then "RN" models (jap rzv) were made at the same time as the "L". models just with diff parts and specs. and a diff service manual 51x . In 1985 I had a copy of all three model service manuals ,tsi updates , model changes etc from yamaha nz for viewing , and parts ordering . My manual and all docs refer to my bike as the 53g L model the jap manual 51x "R" model and the 52x "N "model. we compared all tech data and could only find very small differences mainly jetting between all three models, but as I know now there were a few other part , model differences mainly cosmectic.in 1985 I had to order a few new plastics fairing panels and a new tank , screen etc due to a slightly heavy right hand (bad power wheelie ) eg the need for the parts manuals
and ordering of correct model parts. but it was also a chance to update my bike as well and sort out a few issues that it had

Re: 52X & 53G RZ500
I noticed another difference between 47X and 1GE .. as mentioned the upper cylinder exhaust if the 47X have eat shields and 1GE not. also the lower exhaust defer for the flange where the muffler is connected to . 47X the flange is round , 1GE the flange is square
