To the best of my knowledge that is exactly the reason for the 2 different designations.

There was a "Super Lynx" version, but nobody bought it, so it never got beyond prototype stage. Outwardly it looked pretty much the same hull, with an uprated engine and weapons station IIRC. I don't have the details.
