I've been thinking about that letter some in terms of my short (Some people
would say way too long. :-D ) career as a draftsman.  What I've been
thinking is the letter may relate to a contractor or subcontractor since the
numbers remain the same with different letters in front.

I may be a Messer but I generally clean up after myself.  :-D

Anyway, that was my thinking as well.  It also simplifies the logistics
train significantly to have one part number for both the original and
improved styles.
