Lab in often encoded on 8 bit.-Doesn’t it have to be -127 to +128 or vice-versa as -127+127+0=255
So, it goes from -127 to +128 but many people usually quote it on a 0 to
128 scale by “habit”.
-127 to +127 is the range of an 8 bit signed integer, if I’m not
mistaking.

isn't it rather -127 - 128?
because to match 0-1 values to near 127 values we do 255*value-127 ?

In most cases, for all intents and purposes, Lab is understood to be
within the following ranges: L*0>>100;a*-128>>127;b*-128>>127
As was mentioned in a reply to a previous list message, technically Lab
values can and do sometimes go well outside of the ranges listed but in
almost every instance, for the vast majority of people and use cases, Lab
is understood to be within the bounds listed above.
As was also mentioned in another reply to a list message, it certainly
helps to be able to give a more accurate or more pertinent answer if you
can state your reasons why you’d like to know what it is you’re asking
about.
I’m not 100% sure about this but ttbomk, there’s no such thing as a v2, v4
or any other version number for Lab profiles, for tiff or any other file
format. Is there even a Lab profile anyway? What’s the exact file name for
the Lab profiles you’re asking about? Finally, IT8 files consists of a
great many different sub-types which are used for myriad purposes. Most
commonly IT.7/3 and IT8.7/4 are often used for profiling CMYK processes,
IT8.7/2 (used to be) often used for creating scanner profiles and so on - I
say used to be because not many people in this day and age are creating
scanner profiles or even own/use a scanner. Regardless, there are several
flavours of IT8 type files but again, in almost every case the Lab range is
as listed above.
Best Regards,
Aaron.

Hi I would like to know the ranges of L,A and B values in : ICC profiles
v2, TIFF images with LAB profile v2 and v4, IT8 CGATS files and their
matches because the ranges are differents.
Thank you
