I had never heard of a 924S being called a "946" until I was doing some valuation for Chumpcar. Looking around on the interwibble I found this, which I thought I would share:

924 = 1st water cooled 4-cylinder production Porsche
924S = 924 with engine from 944
928 = 1st 8 cyl water cooled Production car
928S = 2nd gen 928
928S4 = 3rd gen 928 engine uprated to 4 valve/cyl
928GTS = 4th gen 928 / 2nd gen 928S4
930 = 911 turbo
931 = 924 turbo
932 = right hand drive 931
933 = tube-framed 924 race car
934 = 1st water cooled Porsche racer 911 wide body (Group 4 race car)
935 = updated 934 racer (Group 5 race car)
936 = spyder version of the 935 (Group 6 race car)
937 = 924 Carrera GT
938 = RHD 924 Carrera GT
939 = Carrera GT Le Mans
941 = Cabriolet version of 968
942 = special stretch 928 made for Dr. P.
944 = updated 924 production car with 2.5 litre engine
944S = 16V 944
944S2 = 16V improved 944
945 = RHD 944
946 = 924S = 924 body with 944 2.5 litre motor
949 = 924 Carrera GTP (Group C race car)

In Jurgen Barth's "The Porsche Book" (the 3 volume set) you can find an index of all (up to the date of publication) Porsche design and type numbers in volume two. It makes for some interesting reading as it not only includes the cars but engines, transmissions, and other designs as well.
