In different cars with different weights and performance and power delivery expectations, I can see why there can be multiple configurations found for the same engine even if the majority of the components are the same.
Most owners don't have a clue about what's under the bonnet so with a bit of smoke and mirrors, manufacturers can give the illusion of choice without much effort.
There was a little known variant on my D5244T called the D5244T2 which had a lower power output and a wastegate turbo as opposed to a VNT.
Almost identical to look at but given a different engine code nonetheless.
