I have this "Blue Flea" stamp that has the letter "P" printed on the back. I know that Germany, and other countries, would print 'control numbers' on the back on every fifth or tenth stamp, but, this is different. What would the letter "P" represent here?

I have a lot of these in my collection and so far I don't believe I've come across this.

Huh, I never heard the term blue fleas used to describe these diminutive postwar German stamps. Am correct if I term the yellow fleas as printed in the color yellow? Are they exactly like the blue stamps, same format? Is there a Michel Catalog number for the yellow fleas?
Thanks,

In Phil's 1995 Michel the yellow labels are under the Allied Occupation - French Zone- Wurttemberg-Hohenzollern - "Zwangszuschlagsmarken" (page 784) they were used to collect money for rebuilding houses in Germany.
