By "SW" do you mean "station wagon", which we UK types call an "estate"? If so, then yes - there are.

There was definitely a 406 SRi. On the D8 (pre-facelift cars, before 1999) the SRi was basically an LX (low-spec) but had been given alloy wheels, a CD player, and cloth seats with a unique but horrible pattern. It was powered by an 8v 2.0 litre turbocharged engine, giving around 150 HP.

On the D9 (facelifted cars, 1999 onwards), the SRi was a much better trim - half-leather seats, leather door cards and steering wheel, metallic blue dash inserts (replacing the normal walnut effect inserts), CD player, alloy wheels - very nice. Powerplant was the same EW12 J4 engine I have in my Coupe (2.2 litre naturally-aspirated engine, giving 160 HP).

The D9 SRi was available in saloon or estate versions. No2lurch has a D9 SRi estate - very nice example of the type.

Ah, we call those "trim levels" in the UK.

The UK ones (that I know of) go like this (roughly in order of how good they are):

L
LX
Rapier
GLX
GTX
S
SRi
SE
Executive
V6

But these trim levels aren't given these names universally - "SW" may be another country's name for one of the above trim levels (or more accurately, these are the UK versions of French trim levels )

Even worse, some of the trim levels whose names do appear in multiple countries (i.e. Executive) are not the same level of specification from country to country.

Peugeot are well-known to be inconsistent with these things.
