Mobil is making some marketing changes. They're coming out with a "new" 5W-30 "Truck and SUV" oil, and renaming the old 5W-40 as "Turbo Diesel Truck" oil. Presumably it'll be the same thing.
As for the A3/B3 rating, I think the lack of that may simply reflect the market Mobil is pursuing with this oil. They've got the 0W-40 to push for the Euro cars that generally have this in the spec. I'm sure the 5W-40 would meet or exceed all of the requirements for A3/B3.
