Of the twentytwo Zeppelin P-Types, fourteen were built in and around Friedrichshafen near to Lake Constance in the south of Germany. The eight others were built at Potsdam , a city bordering Berlin in the northeast and home to the airship shed being used by DELAG , the world's first revenue earning airline service. These eight are immediately distinguishable by the square-cut , rectangular shape of their rudders and elevators - Friedrichshafen P-Type rudders and elevarors were trapezium shaped with the outer ends square and the inner edges in-line with the hull. (The Friedrichshafen P-Type model is available HERE.)
None of the German Navy's P-Types (their L10 Class) were built at Potsdam. For the German Army however, eight of their total of twelve were, including LZ72, LZ79, LZ85, LZ86, LZ87, LZ88, LZ90 and LZ93. (In 1916 Half of all of the Army's P-Types were extend by 15 meters, effectively making them Q-Types!) This data is from "Giants in the Sky" by Douglas H Robinson.
