The 4 digit 86Ts all seem to have more striations, more right pocket wear and have the waistband patch stitched on to the garment.
That wash in question looks slightly lighter than 72L... somewhat like 8KL but the pockets in that Yoox photo looks a bit different from 8KL.

I've seen the so-called euro wash jean eg: 00796 as opposed to 796 in US stores, and I've seen the regular US versions in Canada, Spain, and Germany. Ditto for labs.
The thing you guys seem to forget is that when the jeans are made they don't necessarily know which market in which the jeans will get sold.
This whole idea that there's some special coding system (some combination of lab/lav or wash numbers) that correlates to a) better or more extreme wash treatments or b) sightings only in europe is disproven by anecdote alone.
