New To Me Husky; What Is It Exactly?

Been awhile since I've been on the site; I've been between Huskys for a bit...

Anyway, I had the fortune of picking this up over the weekend, and it was billed as a 1982 250 CR.
It needs lots of TLC, but the seller could start it and it sounded pretty decent. Clutch cable and perch were improvised and inoperable, so it couldn't be ridden. Petcock was leaking pretty badly, and it looks like they repaired the intake/reed cage rubber by wrapping some sort of sealing tape around it. Missing the airbox boot... I found it would click into the various gears when not running though. Hopefully the clutch is okay inside the engine.

Anyway, looking at pics of various '82 250 CR's shows me that this bike has some anomalies from the model presented. Firstly the tank is different. It looks like it may be an aftermarket version of an earlier tank. It's chromed steel, and has more of an automotive-style cap on it (that fits and seals like it was made for it). Additionally, I'm not sure what's going on with the left-hand engine (clutch) cover. It has the blue oil fill like you'd see on an 80's bikes, but I'm not sure what the little plate is with the 3 bolts in front of the clutch bulge. Additionally, the clutch bulge appears to have been repaired with JB weld. It was completely covering the clutch bulge, top to bottom, over Husqvarna logo. I peeled most of it away, except for at the bottom area.

Anyway, that all makes me wonder exactly what I've got. I should have taken a pic of the frame numbers, but can't do that until later this evening. Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated!

Here's a pic of the other side.

Looks like a 82 250XC to me with the wrong tank and seat. Frame and motor numbers would be helpful. Would be a fun restoration project.

For sure, I'll see if I can't get that info posted up ASAP.

Frame number on the front of the neck reads CV112xx
Engine numbers read 2089 03xx
The x’s are numbers likely not necessary for ID purposes

Engine is an 82 WR or XC

Looking closer, the frame is a CN112xx, not CV, so that would make it an ‘82 CR frame with an ‘82/‘83 WR or XC engine?

Looks like it’s a mix-master…

What do you recon the deal is with this engine cover? Extensive improvised repairs?

water cool cover with the pump blanked off
prolly couldn't find a cover for an air cooled

With the non floating rear brake and what looks like an extra tube under the engine, I'd say it's an XC or WR frame
