AFAIK , the engine differences between TTR and TTE are that the TTE mount the XT/E motor BUT with the Teikei 27 carburettor , so it's really similar as performance as older XT 2KF
TTR have a more performant Camshaft profile, slightly more compression ratio, big exaust pipe and airbox , HP at engine are really :
TTE 42,8 / 44
(practically as the first XT 600..)
TTR 48,5 / 49,8
by slightly elaborating the TTR (holes in the airbox, louder pipe) is possible to reach 51/52 hp AT SPROCKET .. but not recommendble for overlanding (14 kpl min consumption..)
The only problems of TTE are the weak suspensions (particularly the inversed fork that break seals frequently) and the absence of a Kick-starter , TTE is better geared for an overland use respect TTR that is rather "short"
Both needs reinforcing of the rear subframe to carry loads...
