In documents at the PRO, Kew I have recently found lists giving the verbandskennzeichen, c/n and then the new 3 digit tactical codes, i.e P3A, P3B etc., with a note to say that these later codes to be used in future on aircraft reports All aircraft status reports later only use the last letter of the 3 digit code, generally with the c/n. So the single letter you refer to would be the last letter of the 3 digit code and not the last letter of the vbkz. Looking at the relationship between the vbkz and the 3 digit codes shows that the last letter is not the same.

This could be the reason most lost reports only give the c/n, commnets on thsi possibilty welecom

This PRO data is daily intellingence intercepts
