When the updated engine came to the cars with automatic gearboxes - they were badged D5 again.
Unlike some other Volvo models - only Volvo 5 cylinder diesel engine were fitted, there is no 2.0D version with a Ford lawn mower engine in.
So to answer your question in a different way - the 2.4D is a Euro 3 automatic car which is exactly the same as a D5 that was being sold a few months earlier. A few months later - the automatic cars had a D5 badge again but with the newer 185 BHP Euro 4 version and a 6 speed automatic.

An excellent summary, and to check which engine is fitted to any potential car you're looking at, the 163 bHp Euro 3 have black engine covers and don't have a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) fitted, the 185bHp Euro4 engines have a silver grey engine cover and are fitted with DPFs.
