@ dsl and people who may be interested in these details:
From 1945 to 1979/80, the Renault project code was R XXX (generic code), or R XXXZ (detailled), where XXX is a 3 numerals code (117 for R12, 118 for the R6, 109 for the Dauphine, etc.) plus another numeral to specify the trim level and/or the engine.
Since then1, a new alphanumeirc system occurs, with a letter and 2 numerals. Letter codes depend of the kind of body:
A ambulance
B 5 doors car
C 3 doors car
D coupé
E cabriolet or roadster / Chassis for utility vehicle
F monospace "société" / small utility car (monospace = MPV/Minivan?)
G "société" based on the 5 doors car
H SUV / double cab utility car
J monospace / short bus
K estate (break/SW...) / Kangoo's passengers version
L sedan
N upper-medium size van (passenger version)
R monospace (long version)
S "société" based on the 3 doors car
U pick up / Chassis for utility vehicle
V "société" based on the break/SW / SUV (Koleos)
W non validated project
X validated project
Z show car
And as he 2 numeral code may also be replace by a letter for some cars, a J84 (or JM) is a Mégane Scénic II (project X84/XM), a L64 (or LA) is a Mégane Classic / Mégane I Sedan (project X64/XA).
A Mégane III is a (X,B,C,E,G,K,L,S,J,R)95 (or Z) model, while a SM3/Fluence is (just) a L38 one.
Who said it was that easy?

(1) Of course, a double code existed for cars developed before that time but sold after:
127 (Renault 30 et 20), 129 (Renault 25), 137 (Renault 11), 140 (Super 5/Express) et 142 (Renault 9) were recoded X27, X29, X37, X40 and X42.

Other possible corrections due to the (not that clear) Renault code:
a)
First generation of Mégane Break/Sw where K25 (or KA) or V25 (VA)(Société). No reason given.
1- Fortunately, there's (not yet) possible mis-identification;
2- What would be better?
- Having the 42 X64-series (breaks, Estate, SW, etc.) become X64-K25-V25?
- Or juste X64-X25?
- Having two separate chassis code?
- Leaving these cars with a wrong code (and hopping the interface of IMCDb "Next G" will allow us to leave comments on model names), which means we accept the idea of giving wrong informations to the visitors?
b)
Espace IV is a J81/X81 model, not a W81. The X/W french keyboard mistake, this time?
