As for pictures, however, I'm baffled. This is what I've been able to figure out from the pictures (see a.net for cabin pictures):

SpaceBed
9V-SVC (Sep. 2005)
9V-SVE (Apr. 2004)
9V-SVH (Oct. 2002)
9V-SVL (Dec. 2005)
9V-SVM (Apr. 2005)

Regional
9V-SRA (Dec. 2005)
9V-SRD (Sep. 2004)
9V-SRE (Sep. 2004)
9V-SRG (Dec. 2005)
9V-SRL (Jul. 2002)
9V-SRO (Apr. 2004)
9V-SRQ (Jan. 2004)
9V-SQC (May 2003) Note: Oddly this one had a regional F class
9V-SQE (Sep. 2005)
9V-SQI (Jun. 2003) Note: Oddly this one had a regional F class
9V-SQL (Sep. 2005)
9V-SQN (Aug. 2005)

So...as a result...I take back everything I say. I have NO idea.



You bring up a good point that I forgot. You may very well be correct. I think they all are 772ERs; however, the ones designated as non-ERs have engines that have been electronically modified (what exactly they did I'm not sure), but I think it was to save fuel. But the rather neat thing is that the electronic limitation can be reversed fairly easily so SQ can call up all the ERs if need be.

Simply put: All are ER's, but some are configured for regional 2- and 3-class.

9V-SV* == SpaceBeds, used for long haul.
9V-SR* == Regonal, newer interior, Ultimo "light"
9V-SQ* == Regional, some 2- and some 3-class

The 3-class ones are used at least on the SIN-BKK-NRT/KIX runs and on the SIN-DXB-CAI/SVO/IST runs.
