Have you looked at Paul Morris's webiste? He provides SPSS syntax free of
charge. I don't know which version of SF36, but I'm sure he can tell you.
Mind the wrap-around on the URL.

Does anyone know how the UK version of the SF36 differs from the US
version?

The website says that it is the version in the UK manual.
I don't know what other variations might exist in the items, but
the item-ranges, at least, match the old US version, where choices
under #4 and #5 are yes/no, #9 is 1-6. (New: 1-5 on all three.)
I don't use SF-36, but I fixed up a scoring program a few years
ago. I can send a copy to anyone who wants one -- it is only lightly
documented, and it names the variables in the arbitrary way that the
original user needed. If old-US matches Paul's UK standards, then
these results would be expected to match Paul's. (Comparing
these independent versions is one way that you might
try a cross-check on scoring.)
