Just going to save this all here too. Husqvarna 365 special open port 2001.

Turns out like I had read they were doing them overseas.  Guys pics from UK.

This is what we see in US so threw us off. =  Just going to copy and paste info straight from other thread I posted in. - Ya there was both 96-97. But I only know of the very early years one. Being a 2001 saw you are showing and special at that. Not one of the early plain 365 decal ones. I never seen a open on a special or on a late run saw from factory.

Now I have read that Aussie might have got some later open port ones across the big pond. No clue on that.

This info is straight from Bob in a old thread we had on this many years ago. He is a retired dealer for husky jred 40+ years. = The open port 365/2065 jug was only used the first year or so here in the US. First year IPL's are the only ones which only list the open port cylinder.
There are no service bulletins that list a serial number brake for when the change to the closed port jug took place. Again, I think continued use of the open port piece in other markets is likely the reason for this. But it's safe to conclude only the 1996 and some 1997 365/2065's arrived here with the open port top ends.

Looking into OP location he could be in Wales. Sure would have helped if OP would have stated he lives in UK and picked saw up from UK or not. Most of us are going by US info.

Just like MS361 still being sold across the pond in open ports too.

Evan from Canada -  For the North American market, the closed port cylinder actually appeared prior to the Special designation, however, the open port cylinder continued on for non EPA markets. I know from talking from a few guys down under that a special with an open port jug is definitely a thing.
The 05 IPL shows the closed port jug as EPA/EU, earlier is EPA only. 07 still shows the same, I can't find 08 or 09, but 2010 shows everything being closed port.
Note the 372 style clamp being designated EPA on this 02 IPL.
The open port jug and intake hardware is on the IPL until at least 07, with the closed port jug initially denoted EPA, and then EPA/EU on the 05 and 07. I haven't found 08 or 09 IPL'S, but the 2010 one shows only the closed port, denoted EPA/EU/RU. The attached picture is from the 07/03 IPL. 503 69 10-73 is the open port jug.
The closed port EPA cylinder doesn't show up on the IPL's until the 1999-04 document, but it was likely in production a while before that came out. The only open port 365's I have been into here in the great white north have been 1996 and 1997's, but I don't recall ever having a 1998 saw apart. Everything 99+ has been closed port.
