I was always under the impression that the RP saloons were all fitted with rear tank, side draught carburettor, 4 speed box and the revised instrument panel. I seem to recall that, some little while ago, there was some discussion surrounding a late '32 car that had all these but had the earlier RN body style, with external rear seams.
Rekkers car and mine are both standard saloons, my body number being 10566, which is a lot closer to Rekkers body number than our respective chassis numbers would suggest.
This would (as Rekkers suggested to me) that the bodies were built in batches and were called to the production line as and when orders for cars were fulfilled. It is therefore possible that 'old stock' RN bodies were fitted to the new model RPs simply to use up existing stock
Does that make the resulting changeover cars RNs or RPs?
