Bob--
Did you look in the assembly manual? I think it has some
pics...although my copy is in the garage right now, and I'm not ready to
go outside this early in the morning.
The "subtle difference" is that the Panel doors will open all the way,
so you can back the truck up to a loading dock. The Suburban doors do
not open as far. I have a 3106 Suburban, with doors. I'd like to get
the panel stays for it :)
