As much as I hate to disagree with Misha, my 94 T5M and my 95 NA both have a passenger airbag. The 94 has no SIPS, though. Bad photo of my 94's dash attached.
Both were delivered to Austria. Maybe there were differences within Europe.

Nice! Background looks like southern California. If I'm not mistaken, battery is from a shop located in Inglewood, CA U.S.

I'm a bit surprised now since i had never seen a pre '96 for E.U market with passenger side airbag on the dash.
U.S market cars...yes....but E.U cars no.

Were they bought new?

Is there a possibility that upper part of the dash was replaced somewhere in their lifetime since i have seen few '96 & '97 without passenger side airbags because they were in an accident and upper part of the dash was replaced with pre '96 ones.

When i look closer on the picture you posted...it seems that upper and lower part have some differences in the colour tone.
Upper is gray and lower is gray blueish.

My goodness that's a pretty 850. Just awesome.

Good eye with the detail-spotting to everyone in this thread. It is a US car, with a US license plate, photographed in what looks to be the US.

(I was all set to congratulate [once again] European owners for their careful ownership practices, until I read the rest of this thread!)

You've got a good point there. This is not a french plate, only one license plate in the back (big nono in Europe), the roofs in the background look to be in the US as well.
