Well, it certainly would not be the first time that a caption was wrong. I have never heard of a DB 605A-1 TP. As far as I know the a/c that was built for tropical or wasteland service, was just a normal 109, with a normal DB 605 engine; with tropical equipment, like a sand filter, a special survival kit with rifle, extra covering on moving parts, etc. added, and then was designated as a tropical a/c.
