"B" stamp on Selmer "P" series

I have exhaustively searched the current and archived boards to find what I thought would be a simple explanation to my Selmer P series (P3852) soprano's identification, but no luck. On the tuning barrel there is only a "B" center stamped below the Henri Selmer Paris logo. Does this mean it is a Balanced Tone?

I have to say that in my search through this board for this info I have gotten a tremendous education. Especially the E&S, Evette, Buffet threads since I also have one of the head-scratching Evette & Schaeffer K's (K18347) non-master model, with the Ched faced/non-(re)faced mp <g>.

Thanks to all contributors, we "lurkers" appreciate your shared knowledge.

B in European terminology means B flat as opposed to H which is B natural. That is all the marking means.
