"D" is for Dodge, "P" is for Plymouth.

 ("S" is for Desoto, "C" for Chrysler and "Y" for Imperial)

According to the book "American Car ID Numbers 1950-1959" the 1959 318 engine numbers started with the prefix MD2 and the 361's started with the prefix MD3.  They were place on the block as stated below by Frank.  I wonder if every book written has different nomenclature for our cars?  Good old Chrysler!
