Meaning of prefix "MT" prefix on older MTH passenger cars

I have an MTH Aluminum Car Passenger Set, Union Pacific Painted, 3-Rail with product label:  MT-6019.

 

Since just getting into buying MTH products I have been used to seeing the numeric prefix 30 (RailKing) or 20 (Premiere).

 

Can someone help me place these "MT" prefixed cars in the spectrum of scale and detail that MTH offers now from RailKing Traditional through Imperial through Scale and on to Premiere.

 

For example: MT of the 90's is more or less equivalent to the ?? of today in terms of scale and detail. 

 

Is my MT-6019 the same set as this that I found on the MTH locator page with a "20" Premiere prefix?

Thank you.
