I think that's the ICAO code that fits the boxes on a flight plan form. It can cover several models of a specific type. N700TN is listed as a Beech H-18 in the FAA database. Officially it's the last production version, 149 built with 109 of these having a Volpar-designed tricycle undercarriage.
In contrast, N407TH is, or was, registered as a Beech C-45H, which was no doubt Volpar-modified to the tricycle undercarriage and turboprops.
