I believe the 75D and 75H have nearly identical interior layouts. The DL app has these detailed nicely. Also, 75Y is the stretch 757-300.
From a pure passenger point of view for the 757-200 all that it really needs to be looked at as

75D/H they are the same from a configuration perspective. ETOPS/non-ETOPS doesn't really mean much to your average passenger
75G which are the last 5 752s made. They came from Shanghai airlines. the Y and Y+ mix is a tad different (75G has more Y+). This was due to the fact they were the last NRT based 757s, IIRC.
75S which is the lie-flat 16C birds.

75C is pretty meaningless unless you are an NBA/NHL player or have the money to charter one of these birds. (Yeah, I know, once in a blue moon they might pop up on a repo flight and Delta sells it as a live section. Buts its rare and I haven't seen it in the COVID era)

and then as you said, 75Y is the 757-300.

On that note I really wish Delta would clean up its 3 lets aircraft codes after mods are done and go back to more of a IATA standard. I get why they had 75Y when they did 753 mods for example, but it would make life so much more simple if now that those mods were done, go back to 753 for that fleet.
