"Interesting. I've now seen this chord spelled three different ways: Am7/D, Dm11 and C/D. All very similar, and sonically equally correct."

 

Only the Dm11 contains an Fnatural, the other two do not! The othe two are nearly identical, Am7 has an A that C/D does not, but that borders on petty pedantry!

The Dm11 is a minor chord, the other is a suspended 4th degree ( 11 ) with mi 7th chord. They are cousins of a sort, but not the same.

The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown

Yes, that all goes without saying. But in the context of the song it really doesn't make a whole heckuva lotta difference.
