eg, ek, ef refer to jdm chassy codes.
ej n **** refer to usdm chassy codes.
and the 1, 3, 6 refer to the body type ie. 4dr, 2dr etc...

i have a 2000 honda civic 4dr and the usdm code for me is ej6 and its ek9 in jdm i believe.

EK9 only refers to the Civic Type R from the 99-00 models

yours is probably categorized under a EK3 equivalent....that's as close as I can think of, because the EK3 was SOHC VTEC'd

EF are all 4th gens.
EF7 is the JDM Si, EF8 is the JDM SiR.
Pretty sure it applies to EDM as well.
