You can believe your Haynes manual if you want but I would point out that it wouldn't be the first mistake ever found in a Haynes manual. I happen to actually have an 89 with a non-Magnum 318 with a harmonic balancer in my garage. I believe the 318 magnums started in 90 or 92 and the 360 Magnums were an option as early as 89. I know they stopped making the 318 LA in 91. As always I am willing to learn.

1992 was the first rear for the 5.2 (318) magnum and 1993 for the 5.9 (360) magnum.

Well, I don't know how the vins are setup in the Netherlands but here in the US, Vin code Y is the 5.2L Magnum V8, aka the Dodge 318 Magnum.
The 318 is internally balanced where as the 360 is externally balanced, so on the 360, look for the harmonic balancer on the crank.

It doesn't matter if the engine is internally or externally balanced it will still have a harmonic balancer\vibration dampener on it.

Here is the pertinent Quote from the ALLPAR article you posted. It is all the way at the bottom of the article.
"Chronology of the LA series Chrysler V8 engines
(Thanks to Stephen Havens)
1992 - Magnum appears on 3.9 and 318 (5.2)
1993 - Magnum 360 (5.9) appears"

we don't need the vin. if you check summit headers that fit a 318 will also fit a 360, 340 or 273
