I think the D may be Diesel, and the H might be High-running-cost , i.e. a

As you suspect the SE was Special edition when you got goodies such as leccy seats leccy roof and if you were very flush leather, DSE for the diesel variant and HSE was tagged on when a longer wheelbase version was introduced, then they changed it a bit ( a lot really ) on the P38 ( possibly country sensitive btw ,I found the US specs)

As you might expect in a vehicle costing more than $100,000, equipment levels are quite extensive, even in the base SE model.
Standard occupant safety features across the range include dual front airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head airbags, anti-submarine front and rear seats, height adjustable head restraints and three point seat belts for all seating positions.
Vehicle control features include the permanent four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist (EBA), 4-wheel electronic traction control (ETC), cornering brake control (CBC), dynamic stability control (DSC), hill descent control (HDC) and engine drag-torque control (EDC).
Comfort and convenience items include climate control airconditioning, electrically adjustable steering column and front seats, power windows and mirrors (mirrors also heated), remote central locking, a trip computer with speed alert and an auto dimming rear view interior mirror. There's an unusually large number of interior storage compartments, an abundance of interior lighting and two auxiliary power sockets.
The SE also has a six-speaker single CD stereo system, an immobiliser and an alarm, alloy wheels (five), front fog lamps and tinted glass.
The HSE models add a memory setting for the driver's seat, exterior mirrors and steering column; an 11-speaker stereo with multi CD changer and differently designed alloy wheels.
The top-spec Vogue gets a television and satellite navigation, a tilt and slide glass sunroof, 19 inch alloy wheels, rain sensing wipers, powerfold exterior mirrors, bi-Xenon headlamps with wiper/washers, park distance control, heated seats and steering wheel, and 'Oxford' leather seat trim.
If you are minted ( see also Beckham) the 'autobiography' when you can have whatever spec and extras you fancy at a price. Overfinch for turbonutter petrolheads ( curly perm optional ) with reworked suspension 5.7L engine and trim that fits. and a host of others
Derek probably missed a load but am I bovvered?
