RE: NSU on the standard gauge

On a slightly different topic, but related to the NSU, was there any logic in the CR loco classifications. The N was for narrow gauge so I assume the SU was for Sulzer, is this correct? Then the NT would probably have been Narrow Tulloch? So where did NJ come from, if following this system it should have been NGM or NC (for Clyde)? But NB and NC had been used earlier so was J the next letter they thought of?
On the standard gauge the GM is obvious, but where did CL come from, does it mean Clyde? From then on it looks like they kept the L and just picked other letters to put in front of it.
Regards,
Chris.
