Pajero/Montero/Shogun [L040/L140]
The default code for the first gen. Pajero has been L040 here, but the following list, from the late 1980s, mostly shows derivatives of an L140 code. The difference lies in the suspension system : L04x models have leaf springs, while L14x have coils.

Pajero/Montero/Shogun [V20/V40] (Japan : 1/1991 > 8/1999)
The big surprise here : four-door Pajeros are V40 instead of V20 ! I've updated them - slowly - in the data base.
Again, I have added body types and external dimensions, so you know that C means soft-top (or "J-Top" as it's known in Japan) and V means van.
June 2017 edit : there are also V10 & V30 codes ! They're applied to "general export" versions, but I don't know if there are visual clues to recognise them.
December 2018 edit : V10 & V30 codes mean leaf spring suspension.

Pajero/Montero/Shogun [L040/L140]
The default code for the first gen. Pajero has been L040 here, but the following list, from the late 1980s, mostly shows derivatives of an L140 code. The difference lies in the suspension system : L04x models have leaf springs, while L14x have coils.

Pajero/Montero/Shogun [V20/V40] (Japan : 1/1991 > 8/1999)
The big surprise here : four-door Pajeros are V40 instead of V20 ! I've updated them - slowly - in the data base.
Again, I have added body types and external dimensions, so you know that C means soft-top (or "J-Top" as it's known in Japan) and V means van.
June 2017 edit : there are also V10 & V30 codes ! They're applied to "general export" versions, but I don't know if there are visual clues to recognise them.
December 2018 edit : V10 & V30 codes mean leaf spring suspension.
