According to Terry Horler's book on page 104 -

"Shortly after the introduction of the 12CE engine, the crankcase breathing system was changed."

"At engine number 12CE-DA-H3401 (plus 3201 to 3300), a revised manifold was fitted."

On page 117 -

"12CE-DA (not North America)
3201 - 3300 and 3401 onwards (May 68)
Inlet manifold changed and ventilated carburettor bodies replace manifold control valve"
