Compression on KLZE

When I fitted my KLZe a few months ago there was a label on one of the spark plug leads titled "compression value in bar". The numbers on the 6 cylinders are 39, 41, 42, 39, 40 and 41. I have no idea what these mean in PSI as I know that a KLZe in good condition should be around 200 psi.
Has anyone any idea what 40 bar means?
thnx

Thanks Tom - that's why I am confused as there is no way that a KLZE can have a pressure of 580 psi which is what 40 bar is! The tag on my engine was computer generated and says "Iveka" and "75417 Muhlacker"?
