Best bet might be to get a copy of the Gun Trader's Guide, available in WallyMart. It will break down the different models better than other gun value books, and generally tells the differences, ie. the model having peep sights, or walnut stock vs. birch, etc.
A few obvious trends on suffixes:
Marlin - 'DL' is the deluxe model with peep sights, 'M' is generally the .22 magnum variant.
Mossberg - 'K' is the basic model, 'M' has Mannlicher stock.
Savage/Stevens/Springfield - 'P' denotes the peep sighted models.
