Like previous posters have mentioned... A type is a type. If you work at a company that fly's different models of it 737-200 and 500 for example you are qualified to fly both (in the FAA's eyes) as long as you get "Differences" training.
No different that a DC-9 and MD-80. Both of these have a DC-9 type rating.
or the B-757/767. 2 distinctly different Airframes with a common type rating.
Or lets not forget the MD-11 and MD-10 Type rating. Verysimilar to the DC-9 MD-80. One is a newer more modern version of the other but have the same Type rating.
