This truck has what seems to be a 2-part windshield, but you said that the one-piece model appeared in 1990? Were both windshields available as option? And if so, why 1994?

Yes, both one and two piece windshields were offered and even to this day (but only on the T660 and W900).
The reason I say it's 1994 or newer is its mirror is the more aerodynamic fashioned mirror than it's predecessor.
Note the different mirror style between these two. First is a 1988 and second is a 1997.

Thanks for the information :)
This picture, taken from the slideshow proposed by Kenworth for its 90th anniversary in 2013 (but still online), says 1993 while showing a T-600 with aerodynamic mirrors. But it should certainly be read as 1994 model year, as it also indicates implicitly July in the text...

Off-topic: here is the promotional video made for this anniversary, with a lot of early models...

I did more looking into.. it turns out that KW put these aero style mirrors on T600s as old as 1991, and still seeing those older mirrors on until around the 1993 models.
