Delta N was the designation given to the optional two-stage version of either the Delta L or Delta M. Since the Delta L and Delta M were identical with the exception of the third stage, the Delta N did not require more than one numerical designation. It was simply a Delta L or Delta M first and second stage combination with the third stage eliminated.
