How to read Stock Names

Question

Is there maybe a table with descriptors that are sometimes added to stock names?

Examples:

"AMAZON.COM INC. DL-,01" what does the DL-,01 stand for?
"Alphabet-Cl.C" what does Cl.C stand for? The C stands for the voting class as far as I know 
"NokiaOYJ EO-,06"
"Samsung EL.0,5GDRS"
"ALIBABA GR.HLDG SP.ADR 1"
etc.

Or are those even standardized?

ADR is American Depository Receipts. If a non-US company was its shares traded in US Exchanges; it [or some institutions] buy the shares in primary market; keep this as collateral and create ADR and the ADR is traded in the US.

Like wise GDR are Global Depository receipts where stocks from one country are traded on other via GDR

DL is similarly a depository receipt trading in Germany.
