Paint Codes Suffix?

I am trying to get some touch-up paint for my 85 Trans Am. It's the original silver with dark grey gfx. Based on the link below there are 3 paint codes for 1985 silver; 12E (WA8547) , 12L (WA8535) and 12W (WA8602). What's the difference between the 3 of them?

Look on your SPID sticker. Your paint code will be the last thing printed on the bottom.
