  Hi Mike

  They are indeed part of a larger system used by BMC.

  !st letter (name):
  A- Austin
  G- MG
  H- Healey
  M- Morris
  R- Riley
  W- Wolseley

  2nd letter (cubic capacity):
  L- up to 799cc
  A- 800cc- 999cc
  G- 1000- 1399cc
  H- 1400- 1999cc
  B- 2000- 2999cc
  D- 3000- 3999cc

  3rd letter (body type):
  A-  Ambulance
  C-  Chassis
  D-  Coupe
  E-  GPO Engineers (post office)
  G-  GPO Mail
  H-  Hearse
  J-  Convertible
  K-  Truck
  L-  Hire Car
  M-  Limousine
  N-  2-seat Tourer
  P-  Hard Top
  O-  Chassis and Cab

  S-  4-door Saloon
  2S-  2-door Saloon
  T-  4-Seat Tourer
  U-  Pickup

  They didn't really think of the BN4 as a true 4-seater at first.  Geoffrey
  Healey says in his book "It was euphemistically called an occasional four
  seater"

  Best
  Peter
