A CE-172 is one type, so it is not necessary to tack on the engine designator or model designator (R, S, etc). But you can if you want to, especially if you have some ASEL glass time that you want to keep track of.
Technical according to what? a POH? Because I know the ATC code for a 172 is C172...
See it's such a hard question. Is an Arrow a PA-28R or a P28R, is a 182RG a C-182RG or a C82R?
