If you use suffixes, then stick to them.

    Element_Record / Element

The above is GtkAda convention. GtkAda object types have the suffix 
_Record, because they are used rarely. The access to object types have 
no suffix, because they are used most.

The normal case is rather reverse, e.g.

    Element / Element_Ptr

Because access types are infrequent.

The Ada standard library tend to use _Type, e.g. File_Type, for types. 
It works well when you have very general concepts, like 
Root_Stream_Type, you want to stick out.

In a specific application program you would rather avoid _Type and 
choose something descriptive, like Customer_Report. Then an instance of 
could be more vague, like Report.

So, no convention, I would say, just common sense.
