Very slightly, they're all essentially the same car from the first T5 back in around 1993/4 all the way to P1 V70R in 1998-2000.
Base engine is the B5234T ("B" for petrol (bensin), "5" for number of cylinders, "23" for capacity, "4" valves per cylinder, "T" for turbo).
That engine with the TD04-15G turbo gave 225bhp in the 850 T-5 up to 1995.
The T-5R (1995 only, limited edition) got different engine management and a "power boost" to 240bhp (manual only). It also got revised suspension, model specific Porsche seats, Porsche developed engine management (and gearbox management on auto), some unique styling bits, etc.
The 850R got a (slightly) larger 16T turbo, upgraded rods, and 250bhp. The manual got an LSD.
The P1 V70R picked up from the 850R in 1998-2000 and eventually got a larger turbo.
From 1996 on all Volvos got full OBDII.
All Volvo engines are from the same modular inline concept co-developed with Porsche in late seventies/early eighties. Known as "white block", as opposed to the "red block" that went before (and were indeed painted red).
There's a break in around 2000 where they switched to "new generation" white block engines. Still modular and largely interchangeable and upgradeable from older engines though, just a bit more to it.
