"The result of kamma is of three sorts, I tell you" - Are the "sorts" explicated anywhere in the canon?

From the Penetrative Sutta, Nibbedhika Sutta, AN 6:63, translated by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu:
*“And what is the result of kamma? The result of kamma is of three sorts, I tell you: that which arises right here & now, that which arises later (in this lifetime), and that which arises following that. This is called the result of kamma."*
The translator seems to be trying to help the reader here when he adds *(in this lifetime)*, but these are not the Buddha's words. I'm wondering if the *three sorts* are mentioned elsewhere in the teachings, possibly less ambiguously than here.
