Exactly which engine is used in the GD?

There are an awful lot of versions of the engine used in the Fit. As far as I can tell, it's the L15A1 that's used in the US and Canada:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_...ne#L15A2_i-DSI
Is this correct? Is this a dohc or sohc engine? I can't tell for sure by looking at it, though my guess is sohc.

Thanks, bro. I'm surprised that with 77 views you're the only one who knew. I was ready to be mocked for not knowing, but it seems I'm not the only one.
