Hp from SN?

Is it possible to determine the hp of an engine from the serial number? Specifically, a Perkins T6-354. The number is TU33247U850169W. The owner says it has 240hp. I know these started at 165 and went up over time. From Boatdiesel charts I learned that the engine was built in the UK in 1992, but what hp? Seems like a significant jump in hp for the same displacement.
