Brand new protege, need to identify!

I need help identifying my new protege. it's and "SE" but I've never heard of anything other then Lx/Dx/Es. so what exactly is it? and more importantly, what freaking size engine does it have?

'99s are third gens. In Canada, the standard models sold were as follows (I may be slightly off in terms of badging, but the engine choices were as follows):

'99 & '00 - DX & SE (1.6L), LX (1.8L)
'01 to '03 - SE (1.6L), LX, ES & Protege 5 (2.0L)

Then there are of course the Mazdaspeeds.
