Looks like there were also 2 latches.
1C0823509AD or 1C0823509F - appears to have been on 1.8t beetles
1C0823509AE or 1C0823509E- appears to be on TDI, 2.0, and 2.5 Beetles
Not sure if that makes any difference as to which hood fits. I'm guessing the new "M" coded hood will fit either, which is why it supersedes the old part # hoods.
Still couldn't tell you which models the "J" hood would fit.
Although looking around at other sources, there's seems to be a split in 2000. There's an OEM hood listed on Ebay that says it fits

o BEETLE 00 from VIN 465984
o BEETLE 01-05

So possibly the "J" hood fits 98-00
