The unrecorded prefix B on commercial tax label

The commercial tax labels were in use from 1^st November 2014.  In Fantail 55, second printing of these labels was reported and the author questioned about prefix “B”.  These labels are printed with security number of 9 digits prefixed by a letter.  The prefixed letters recorded so far are “A” and “C”.   On one of the recent eBay listing, the prefix “B” was found out.  It is on 5000 Kyats values.  The dealer posted a piece of receipt taxed with the total value of 35000 Kyats.  It was used on 21 June 2015, which is just before the next printing arrives.  The printing with prefix “C” was recorded in 2016 as earliest usage.  So, we can assume that prefix “B” was distributed only limited quantity and used for short period only.  It still needs more evidences of “B” prefix on values other than 5000 Kyats.
