 Why is this called AF and not A?

The AF was a special model for UK with a smaller cylinder bore less powerful engine to defeat the horsepower tax.

 Owner claims that it is German assembled AF.
However, indeed it might be worth to check this and here is what I was able to find - not about this particular car, but about Fords named AF in general:
1) Description of some 1930 AF from Germany -> Link to "ccaoe.com"
ccaoe.com wrote Ford Modell AF
H-Kennzeichen, HU 02/2017
Baujahr 1930, aus dem Ford Montagewerk in Berlin,
original Typenschild vorhanden,
ursprünglich mit dem AF-Motor, 2023 ccm, 28 PS,
der Motor wurde irgendwann auf 3285 ccm, 40 PS umgebaut...


2) IMCDb - car from France -> /vehicle_342388-Ford-Model-AF-1928.html
With interesting comment of DynaMike about French assembly of AF model.

3) Also interesting site about model A engines and their numbers - http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/ABenginenumbers.htm
If I understand it well, it recognizes two AF Fords, where one "AF" indicated engine and was also a model name (indeed, descirbed as British version) and second "AF" was a prefix of internal number for all RHD cars(?). However this site doesn't mention German and French assembly or I missed something.

 Thanks, seems reasonable to accept that this is correct as an AF. I had no knowledge of German build, maybe there was a similar horsepower tax there at the time.
