I suspect that "CV-300" was applied to a 240 fitted with any of the allowed CB variants. My reference to

The CV-300 was a marketing designation (ie not on the Type Certificate)
was simply meant to indicate that marketing designations (Fokker 100, Shorts 360, etc) typically don't get listed on a TC or, if they are, it's usually just in a footnote.
