GMT-II Reference Number Trivia

I was changing bracelets for my wife, from her GMT-II Coke to her ExpyII Noir, and I noticed that the reference number for the D-serial Coke is 16710T.

I'd never noticed this before, and a quick search yielded a few examples of 16710's with the T suffix, but I've failed to find out what it stands for.

Can't be tritium, as the indices are Luminova.

Any ideas folks?

This is just a guess but i do know that the the GMT with pepsi , coke and black bezels are labelled with an A , B and "possibly T" at the end ( i do not know which is which)- but maybe the T indicates one of these?
