Most figures from manufacturers are flywheel figures.
On top of that the engines are detuned from the factory. Instead of building an engine that will keep its HP for years (that wouldn't be a capitalist
option) they detune them and when power starts to drop from wear etc - the servicing schedule sees some of the tune dialed back in.

Craig,
The australia spec motor is not a KLZE. It is a KL03 or KLDE depending on who you ask.
The australia spec motor has 123kw or 165HP. That is at the flywheel.
The jap version is the KLZE. It has higher compression, wilder cams, a better flowing intake and better (bigger) ports. It has 147kW or 197HP (~200HP)
at the flywheel.
There was also the jap millenia engine which was a KLZE, but had a different intake and the KL03 cams. It only had 170HP but was torquey as it powered
a heavy auto car. Some people but the 200HP long neck intake on the 170HP curved neck manifold and think it will get 200HP, but it won't cos it still
has the crap cams.
So be careful which one you buy (if your buying). And be wary of what engine people say they have. Like most jap motors there are many different
variants with difference HP figures.

I found a useful dyno graph.
The blue line is a stock 165HP KL03 Ford Probe.
The redy line is a modified KL03 probe.
The green line is a jap KLZE in a ford probe.
All HP is at the wheels on a dyno. Going by the base dyno the probes are getting a gearbox efficiency around 83% which is about right for a FWD. By
using that, the jap KLZE probe is probably getting around 205HP, so the 200HP from Mazda is about right.
