According to my various factory manuals, "The main trim material is
identified by prefixing the colour code number with a letter, e.g.:
Leathercloth - No prefix letter
Leather - Prefix letter H.
Cloth - Prefix letter C."
But the letter "L" as a suffix letter in the Commission number does indeed
indicate Left Hand Drive.
