Makes me wonder what are:
S104/Tp104
S105/Tp105

One might be the LJ35

Tp 103 Cessna Citation II
SE 104 air glider DFS Weihe Kärrhöken
LG 105 glider Fi-3

I honestly do not believe that. For the Grunau Baby was the SE 102, which would double with the Gulfstreams. More likely indeed 104 or 105 is in use for the Learjet and the other was either destined for an option not taken up, or still to be announced...

The answer comes from Lennart Berns, Swedish Air History Association.
He is the person who really know this best.
Lennart also holding courses on Swedish spotting.

Take a look here: https://designation-systems.net/non-us/sweden.html

Gliders were numbered in a special series, using numbers 101 and up

G 101 AB Flygindustri Swedish version of Zögling SG-38
Se 102 AB Flygplan Swedish version of Schneider Grunau Baby IIB-2
Se 103 AB Flygplan Swedish version of DFS Kranich B-1
Se 104 AB Flygindustri Swedish version of DFS Weihe
Lg 105 AB Flygindustri Fi 3

So 101, 102 and 103 were reused, but 104 and 105 cannot be reused? Please ask the historian about that. I don't speak Swedish unfortunately...
