Could it be Type A=LDL and Type B= VLDL.

Possibly, but I don't think so. All cholesterol leaves the liver packaged as VLDL - Very-Low Density Lipoprotein. This package is large, relative to LDL. As the VLDL package makes its rounds through the bloodstream, it gets smaller (LDL) and smaller (HDL). So when researches say that small, dense LDL particles are harmful, the nomenclature would seem to indicate that these particles are distinct from VLDL.
