Capacitor Series

An (M) next to the series name is used to denote a 20% tolerance and isn't part of the series name.

A "CE" may mean "Capacitor Electrolytic" and is not part of the series name

Miniature Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors Series Overview

Some Nichicon capacitor series (e.g. HD series) are/were available in two different case styles: "laminated" (appears silver/metallic on the outside and has the printing on the top side, similar to most SMD caps) and sleeved (has the usual plastic sleeve). They are identical otherwise; the purpose of the laminated variant apparently mostly came down to waste reduction.
