Solution

AFAIK, these denominations existed for both i386 and i486 processors:

i386-DX : full featured 32 bits external bus, 32 bits internal bus i386.

i386-SX : 16 bits external bus, 32 bits internal bus i386.

i386-SL : i386-SX made for latops.

i486-DX : full featured i486, with internal numeric processor.

i486-SX : i486 but with disabled numeric processor.

i486-SL : i486 (don't remember if with or without numeric processor) for laptops.
