That would be "E", not "P", as in R-E. The -P has precedent in the R4sP and
S2-P.

Has Leica always been top-shelf? Even back in the M3 days? My impression was
that they had made similar products to the other competition at the time.

Yes they've always been a top-shelf brand. The difference now is that the
other makers are offering cheapened models in addition to their top-shelf
models.
