The LT series vehicles are referenced as  LT 30, LT 35, LT 40. The number
specify the maximum total weight of the vehicle, LT 40 is specified for
4 tons.

Even the 6 Zylinder seems not to be the original one. The LT is equipped
with AUDI 5 Cyl.. engines. I may be wrong and have to check the leaflets.
