It depends on the year. I think H *might* have been one of them, but not 100% sure.

I know 7 and G for sure though.

"7" was used as the 8th digit the first year of the L69 (1983), I believe G thereafter...H was always LG4 AFAIK....

Confuzed is not confused on this one, he has it right. 7 in 83, G 84-86. H is LG4 in all years.
