Well, first off, using 'Type X' should be the notation of last resort.  The
prefered way to note variations of parts is to include a descriptive notation.

Sometimes, a descriptive notation is not practical (for whatever reasons).  In

lean toward using standard numeric notation, rather than Roman numerals.
