Version 98 (1998–2002)
In conjunction with introduction of FM series in 1998, Volvo had facelifted existing FH series with minor modifications to the cab
The wording implies that updated FHs were around before the introduction of the FM.

From:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_FH
and:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_FM

Quote:
The Volvo FH12 sets new standards in the truck industry in terms of safety, driver environment and fuel consumption, among other things. Extensive modernisation took place in 1998-99,
1998 also saw the launch of the Volvo FM series

Thank you G-CPTN, to me this cab seems to have been around for ever.
