The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

My understanding is...

'TDI sport' relates to the 1.9 tdi only for all mk5s 04-58

The 2.0 tdi's started off as 'GT TDI' with the sport as an add on, up until around 2006 i think or around that date
They then changed the 2.0 TDI to the GT Sport

upto 07/57 plate cras there use to be :

GT
Sport

Mainly the difference is/was trim and extras.

From 57 on ward they combined the two and came up with the GT Sport.

Easy way to tell what you have, if you have the tinted rear windows as factory you have a GT Sport. Also the GT Sport has the GTi shape front grille.

The Badging on the rears are different too:

GT _____________ Golf < pre 57

Golf____________ 2.0 TDi >57 on - 140 bhp version hidden exhausts
Golf____________ 2.0 Tdi (red 'i') - 170 bhp version visable exhausts
Golf____________ GT is the 1.4 TSi all power ratings visable exhausts

Any 1.9 engined mk5's are badged as :

Golf____________TDi 105bhp hidden exhausts

VW are terrible for this, they create so much confusion around models, and I don't think the dealers help, as sometimes they have to badge them, often incorrectly.

to fully be sure check under your boot carpet and theres a manufactor sticker showing where it was made ie wolfsburgh or mexico and it states what spec it is,as in the sport seats there a little smaller than the gti ones(less bolster support) but syill kinda buckety
