It's definitely from a late spec ST202. I notice that the O2 sensor is missing. They're a pain to get Stateside but any generic Denso 4 wire O2 sensor can be wired in. The BEAMS ECU ignores it anyway. Looks like the fuel line is cut, so you'll have to splice your 5S fuel line to the BEAMS fuel line. Njccmd has pictures of that in his progress thread. The TPS usually gets broken during shipping, and I see that one is still good. You'll want to order a new thermostat and valve cover gasket right away, as well as clean the ISCV. Those are the biggest trouble spots on a BEAMS when everyone first picks them up. I'm on my 4th thermostat (not my engine's fault). I'm browsing from my phone so the pictures aren't very big, but I do t see the MAF either. I've bought a brand new one for $100.
