Ron, Something I thought I once knew..but it escapes me. We know they are codes like the S code Krieghoff but were they simply snatched out of the alphabet? Interesting question!

Jerry, I think you nail it. There is no meaning with the letters. Background was to screen the rearmament after Hitler take the Power in 1933.
