Unless a previous owner changed it, you have a blue tag. The balck tag was used from 1989 to mid 1993, the blue tag after that. The black tags were made in Germany and are stronger due to a straighter cut on the first three gears. The blue tags are quieter.

The later version has a smaller diameter input shaft also.
