First one is the single turbo 3.0D
Second one is the twin turbo 3.0SD.
Always worth looking at Realoem on line to get your vehicle by putting the last 7-characters of your VIN into the 'Serial Number' box. Air filter comes under 'Fuel preparation'.

That's in the heating/air conditioning section and so if you have 4-zone you have two micro filters. These are nothing to do with the engine air filter.
One is under the bonnet hidden below the scuttle cover panel and the other inside the car and a pain to get at! There are a few bits that must come out in order to get to it.
