It sounds like you are looking at a tire similar to the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM32156. The speed rating you mention of "L" allows a max of 75 mph and the "M" tires allows a max of 81 mph.
If you use these different speed rated tires and don't exceed 75 mph I don't foresee an issue since it's the same tire size and as long as the load range is also the same.
