All LL grammars are LR grammars, but not the other way around, but I still struggle to deal with the distinction. I'm curious about small examples, if any exist, of LR grammars which do not have an equivalent LL representation.
Example of an LR grammar that cannot be represented by LL?

Well, as far as grammars are concerned, its easy -- any simple left-recursive grammar is LR (probably LR(1)) and not LL. So a list grammar like:
is LR(1) (assuming the production for element is) but not LL. Such grammars can be fairly easily converted into LL grammars by left-factoring and such, so this is not too interesting however.
Of more interest is LANGUAGES that are LR but not LL -- that is a language for which there exists an LR(1) grammar but no LL(k) grammar for any k. An example is things that need optional trailing matches. For example, the language of any number of
a
symbols followed by the same number or fewerb
symbols, but not moreb
s -- { a^i b^j | i >= j }. There's a trivial LR(1) grammar:but no LL(k) grammar. The reason is that an LL grammar needs to decide whether to match an a+b pair or an odd a when looking at an a, while the LR grammar can defer that decision until after it sees the b or the end of the input.
