Don't know, in le mans cup there is a proper named gt3 class and don't know if is a SRO branded championship like GTworld, british gt etc...
Don't know if SP is for "specs" or "special" but it's more related to a performance range than a copyright issue, infact in the past gt2 cars could be in SP7 or SP8 according to engine displacement or in SP-X if the gt2 was entered in national specs. I think gt
D is used to give more "personality" to the class, like something strictly related to daytona->IMSA as gt
LM (instead of GTE) is related to le mans. Same about DPi that sounds much better than something like lmp2+ or lmp2evo...
