"L" I assume to mean "low" but never actually saw that written anywhere, but nor did I ever look for what "L" means either.
My guess is that there is more than likely a German word that the S and L stand for. {like that pesky "R" for "Empty" on the fuel gauge}
Used to be basic American car nomenclature though. Low and Second......

Besides, as long as we are all square on what "T" stands for, I'm OK......
