Yes, 1 PS, or metric horsepower, =135.5 Watts, and 1K bhp = 745.7 Watts (Wikipedia).
The later 75/ZT diesel engine is 132 PS = 129 bhp. The 135 part of its name is from rounding up of the PS value. also, values do vary with production tolerances and settings. On a dyno before its upgrade, mine was measured at 132.5 bhp (= 134.3 PS).
