From my research i think these these just stood for
Rumpf (fuselage) and several photos of R.55xx series are known. At this time the (088)5501 was built, April 1941, the Ju 88 A-5 was still in full production. Generally further A-4 production was done after A-5īs had been complete (but initally it was overlapping).
Also, never ever, have I seen (or found out) an
R number standing for
Reparatur. Many pics of repaired Ju 88 (and other types) planes are known, both in or after repair. And they carried just plain W.Nr. !
