I thought it just meant Golly's answer was incomplete
BIS = Russian suffix applied to many military types meaning improved, although technically a corruption of the French (/latin) meaning second (as in; first, second). Could be taken to imply second generation of design. Ie MiG-21Bis was the watershed second genertion of the MiG-21 series.
My posts bore even me sometimes.

I wrote 103? Damn, I meant 102! The exhausts on the rear fenders are a way to tell these two apart, I know, I have photos of both in my hard drive...
Sorry for the typo and the ensuing confusion!
