SPG VIN #s . . .

My 1989 900 has been parked (non-op) in the Mojave Desert for about the last decade. Always covered, so hopefully it hasn't suffered too much. We'll see, but I'm definitely looking forward to getting it back into driving condition in the next month.
I had a question though, maybe someone here knows the answer.
When I bought it, I hoped it was an SPG. It looked like one, but with the availability of panel kits a lot of guys were making their 900T look like SPGs in the early 2000's. Anyway, didn't worry me too much back then, it looked good and drove good, that was enough.
But before I put some dollars into it now, I'd like to know what I have. I've played around with the 'Saab VIN Decoder' but am reaching a stumbling block on my 5th character (for series). B = i, C = i16, D = Turbo.
But my 5th character is 'L'
Does that designate SPG?
My 8th character is also 'L' designating the B202T engine. But can't decode that first 'L'
My VIN is very low number, just a hair over the first 50 built of whatever variant this is. Hoping it's an SPG but yeah, I don't know.
Any help would be a help.
Thanks.
