Do I have an AW70L ('lockup') type? 200 1993

Hi, all.

I had just read this, quoting from someone else's message (on another topic, farther down on this list):
"...If you have the time to hunt around for one, try to locate a AW70L. Volvo began switching their non-lockup transmissions for lockup version on the 240 sometime in '92 and they were available in the 740s as early as '89. ...."

Can anyone confirm this for accuracy? I have a '93 240 DL, so does that mean that I have the lockup type of torque converter. A nice surprise if true, as I didn't realize it, and haven't noticed it (it's a recent acquisition, and I haven't had time yet to install a tachometer).
If it's true, at what speed would I feel the lockup occur (I'd like to try to feel it).
Thanks.
