I think b16a is JDM and the a1 and a2 are USDM.

B16a JDM, B16a1 Euro spec, a2 USDM and B16b JDM CTR.

when getting ur new swap. always check the engine identification code to make sure its what ur getting, its engraved onto every single Honda engine block. left side up near where block meets the head. good luck with ur swap!
