System 6.0.8L was a limited maintenance release of system software for markets in Apple Pacific. It was engineered to address some special needs for those markets that did not have access to System 7 at the time.

They made 6.0.8L primarily for the Macintosh Classic II and Macintosh PowerBook 100. I remember reading that it was because System 6 had a 8MB limitation, so they made 6.0.8L so it could address the Classic II's ability to hold 10MB. (Probably more reasons than just that.)
