That is a good question.
The European/Canadian 1830 appears to be the 2030 and both share many components with the 2130.
The 2030 was built from 72 until 75. It appears production was initially from a single factory during 72 & 73. The serial numbers were not followed by the T or L.
In 74 one serial number series started at 187301T and in 75 with 213350T. I'm guessing your 1830 is a late 1975 model.
In 74 the other serial number series starts with 140000L.In 75 with 1445500L.
Looking at the numbers the T series seem to run with the 72 & 73 production numbers?
The L series appear to be a 2nd production line that started up mid way through 1830/2030 production?
There must be chart out there somewhere with the mixed Spain, Mannheim and Dubuque models, years and serial number breaks?

The 1830 is a Canada only model. It is identical to the German 2030 and was called the 1830 in Canada to avoid confusion with the US 2030.

There were two styles made, one had a angular grill like a 4020, the other had a rounded grill like a 4250.

I think the grill style changed in 1975 or 1976.
