Special features are: different grill, different rear lights and some other. This is an export variant: This is usual 424: As I know, foreign dealers (Konela, Scaldia-Volga etc) used to install some more features like winow washer, electric window cleaner instead of mechanical, sometimes - Perkins diesel engine.
I don't know anything about using 424 in soviet police, but they used to have it in hungarian police:
423, 424, 430,432, any other estate or van could be owned only by the state, not by the citizen. These cars worked in shops, delivered mail and other.
There's some documentation, but it's in russian: http://dfiles.ru/files/996k0qzgp (repairing manual)

Особенности - это иная решетка, иные задние фонари и прочее. Фотографии экспортного и обычного 424. Насколько мне известно, иностранные дилеры (Конела, Скальдия-Волга)и др) ставили на эти машины стеклоомыватели, электрические стеклоочистители вместо механических, иногда - дизели Перкинс.
Универсалы и фургоны могли быть только государственными, а не частными. Они работали в магазинах, на доставке почты итд. Дальше - ссылки на руководства по ремонту.

My car is the export.. It has the numbers "424" on the front fenders,,

Can you tell me what the "special features" could be? Did the 424IE have more eqiupment than the model in Russia? As you wrote earlier the model 424 was probably only aviable for organisations, does that mean the 424 was used by police and things like that? The milage of my car is 75000km.. I found this car in 1986.. Only one thing was defect and that was the water pump..Unfortunately I took the decision that I should restore the whole car.. So I teared it apart in pieces..(in 1987) and then it has been stored in a garage..Now 20 years later I going to build up this car again...I will post pictures of my car as soon as I can..I´m very interested in all kind of documentation of this model..
