In the (belgian) specification, the end ratio is 3.08 to 2.93 for respectively the 2.0l and 1.6l. Meaning that the 1.6d is pulling shorter with the same engine output power! The 80-100 is repectively 8,6/11,7s for 2.0D versus 10,2/14,2s for 1.6D.
Well frankly, I cannot explain! The only explanation left is the 1.6d drops off very fast, but it also delivers identical kW at identical rpm than the 2.0D so it steams up identical to 4000rpm! Under these circumstances, who can explain the figure of the borchure?
I cannot! Bur i'am also anxious to understand.

You got the ratio right but the result wrong. The 1.6D has less of a reduction (2.93 v 3.08) so it is higher geared
