Well, according to the internet + Wikipedia, 1WG is an FZR400, 3HE is an FZR600 (in 67kW/91PS spec).

hi,
the block markings say what engine and it is not uncommon to find a 600 engine in a1wg (400) frame as they are far lighter (alloy) frames and the steering geometry is supposed to be that bit sharper.
If a magnet sticks to the frame it is a standard 600 frame, A lot of guys use 400 swingarms on the 600 to alloy wider and smaller (better choice of tyres & rubber compounds) diameter rims.
Y-Geo has done that mod and he wrote it up on his site:-
