Best Answer

You can use the \newtagform and \usetagform from mathtools. Here are a few samples:

\documentclass[leqno]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fourier, erewhon}
\usepackage{mathtools}

\newtagform{Alph}[\renewcommand{\theequation}{\Alph{equation}}]()
\newtagform{roman}[\renewcommand{\theequation}{\roman{equation}}]()
\newtagform{scroman}[\renewcommand{\theequation}{\scshape\roman{equation}}][]

\begin{document}

\usetagform{Alph}
\begin{equation} 
a = b + c 
\end{equation}
\usetagform{roman}
\begin{equation}
d = e + f
\end{equation}

\usetagform{default}
\begin{equation}
x = y + z
\end{equation}

\usetagform{scroman}
\begin{equation}
u = v + w
\end{equation}

\end{document}
