Right off the bat, I see the top right picture is referred to a 695A, when an actual 690.
Further down, it appears an 840 vs 980 HP are reversed..
690C Jetprop 840
690B with increased wingspan, wet wing fuel tanks and winglets, two 840shp TPE331-5-254K turboprops, 136 built.
695 Jetprop 980
Similar to 690C with 735shp TPE331-10-501K engines, 84 built.

The great thing about a wiki is that anyone can fix it. Just hit the "edit" link (right after the subtitle) for the appropriate section.

The horsepower is confusing... the 840 does have 840shp engines, they are limited to 717 for takeoff... the 980 has 1000 (?) horsepower engines which are limited to 733shp for takeoff, or something like that.

Not wiki related, but still curious, on the attached (bottom of pic) what does 'SMA' mean?

"Special Mission Aircraft" would be my guess.
I thought all the cargo door airplanes were 900s, but that does clearly say 1000. Bruce would know!
