I've seen LHD sedans up for sale at auctions too.
That red interior would fetch a lot of $$ alone. A friend of mine in RI owns a RHD CB6 that he had manged to buy off some guy for about $1,900 if I remember right.Henry R

Technically 89 was the first year of the 4th gen in Japan while the US got it in the Spring or Fall of '90. I see a lot of Japanese manufacturers do that..they drop the new models towards the tail of the of year while the US gets them either in the Spring or mid-Summer of the following year.Henry R

Japan does initial registration years and not model years, so it's likely that it was just sold in '92, though it was a leftover late '91 build car.
There are many chassis wiring differences in that car that would indicate that it's not a USDM or CDM car such as the passenger door lock, overhead map light and the H1/H4 headlight wiring, to name a few.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

I wouldn't want to be the worker assembling these cars with all the subtle differences.
