Default Differential types

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is anybody that can help with some more details regarding the differentials on the IS300h and RC300H models sold in Europe.

It seems that the IS 300h has a 20H differential while the RC 300h has a 20L (the same as the GS 300h).

Is there anybody that could tell me what is the difference between them?

Thank you

IS300h, being lighter, allows for longer gearing, 47:19. Heavier GS300h and RC300h have 47:17.
