FJ55 or FJ55V?

[FineWynsFJ40]

What exactly is the difference between a FJ55 and FJ55V? What exactly does the "V" mean? Thanks.

In the owner's manual for 1970 55 they list three differing models
FJ55(L)V FJ55(L)V-B FJ55LG

V = Hardtop
G =Luxury Model/Wagon

How do we tell if we have a luxury model? I have the electric roll up window in the back, and the seats are comfy. Does the L stand for long wheel base, and what does the B stand for? And by hardtop, are some removable!?

Thanks!
