What are we talking here? I haven't seen letter on pistons before.

They mean nothing to the average guys on the street like us. Every once in a while you'll even see a green paint dot or orange paint dot on them also. Just some method for them to group or organize them prior to assembly. It could have to do with the weight of them or the actual size of the piston skirts...who knows, its not important to us though.
We cannot solve our problems today using the same thinking we used when we created them!
