L always meanes Lunette, or the bezel (insert)
G always means Glasse, for the crystal V always stands for verti - green N stands for Noir - black. mix and match them..  Rolex doesn't actually have these numbers as part of the model, but rather part of the paperwork for it's options.. The Sub LV still only comes with 16610 stamped on the case etc.. The black Sub could be referred to as the Sub LN
