I believe 134108 was the first 20M3S Wolverhampton engine in a fastback.
What I suspect is since 131257 which was a 750 S and this model had 20M3S engine from this number all the 750 S engines came from Wolverhampton (no "P") and all fastback 20M3 engines up to 134108 came from Woolwich , Plumbstead Rd and should have the "P".
20M3S (750 S type) production supposedly commenced in or around March 1969 at which time neither 20M3S or 20M3 engines, would have had the 'P' suffix until engine production commenced at Wolverhampton some months later (September 1969?) so I don't think the absence of the P suffix in early 1969 necessarily indicates that it's an engine built at Wolverhampton.
The Fastback is supposed to have had the 20M3S engine from 133668 Edit: although there does appear to be examples of 1969 20M3S Fastbacks with serial numbers earlier than 133668.
