A330/340-200/300: big or small door 3. Same idea as the TriStar, which I hadn't known about.
757-200: 8-door and 6-door options. The 8-door gave a higher exit limit, but took up more cabin space, so many lower-density carriers went with the 6-door.
767-300: too many to keep track of: 4 doors with 2 overwings, 6 doors with 1 overwing, 8 doors, and maybe more that I'm missing.
767-200: was there ever one with two pairs of overwings?
757-200
Without any overwing exits 239 seats max
With overwing exits 224 seats max
767-200
Single overwing exit 255 seats max
Dual overwing exits 290 seats max
767-300
Without any overwing exits 351 seats max
Any exit configuration involving overwing exits 290 seats max
787
Now all versions of the 787 have 4 identical doors on each side, but how they are rated affects max capacity. For example whether a dual or single slide is fitted to that door.
381 seats max with exits A-A-A-A
355 seats max with exits C-A-A-A
330 seats max with exits A-A-C-A
300 seats max with exits C-A-C-A
A320
Again exits can be rated differently, may plug an overwing exit, and number of cabin crew further restricts.
195 C*-III-III-C* + 4 cabin crew
180 C-III-III-C + 4 cabin crew
165 C*-III-C* + 4 cabin crew
150 C-III-III-C + 3 cabin crew
145 C-III-C + 3 cabin crew
A321 (Original configuration - no overwing exits)
230 C*-C-C-C* + 5 cabin crew
220 C-C-C-C + 5 cabin crew
200 C-C-C-C + 4 cabin crew
200 C-I-I-C + 4 cabin crew
A321 (New configuration - 2nd door ahead of wing deleted, but with overwing exits)
Again exits can be rated differently, may plug an overwing exit if you deactivate the Type C exits behind the wing, or deactivate the Type C exits behind the wing and keep both pairs of overwing exits, and number of cabin crew further restricts. Here 0 indicates the exit behind the wing is plugged, and between ( ) are the overwing exits.
244 C*-(III-III)-C-C* + 5 cabin crew
235 C-(III-III)-C-C + 5 cabin crew
224 C*-(III)-C-C* + 5 cabin crew
204 C-(III)-C-C + 5 cabin crew
200 C*-(III-III)-0-C* + 4 cabin crew
200 C-(III)-C-C + 4 cabin crew
180 C-(III-III)-0-C + 4 cabin crew
