What's a B230 L (emphasis on the 'L') engine? 200

Hi. I had been doing some reading at another Volvo site regarding B230 engines, and there was a reference to an L engine, as if it was a somewhat different version than the run-of-the-mill ordinary B230 engines. The reference to this engine was that this engine had a unique "piston oiler" -- i.e., an oil passage to squirt more oil at the piston.

Were all engines of a certain (for example, the last) model year of this L type, or was it only included in certain markets? I'd appreciate knowing anything about this L engine, or how to identify it.

Thanks.
