Default Turbine designation meanings

Hello,
Can someone tell me what the "TS" and "NG" meanings are in the Jets-Munt turbine line mean?

LOL I figured this would be an easy answer but I checked around with several of my jet buddies, even in the business and couldn't get an answer.

My best guess for NG is next generation

The TS stands for Twin Start. It has two igniters for quicker starts.

Since I was used to seeing "NG" on full scale turbines, found this interesting link on Turbine numbers/designations if any of you are interested;
