I reviewed the cards from Drancy that were shared and compiled a list of the 243 references — excluding those that are simply departure dates. What seems unusual is that these references appear only on the cards dated November 4 and 6 of the departure, 1942 (convoys 40 and 42) with one exception Epstein Sophie (released)
243 list below:

picture of the complete list:
I did the same for the reference ‚P.P.‘ but couldn’t find any consistency. I’ll share a short list with links to the cards, and a complete list as an image. I included professions, since my assumption was that if S.P. stands for sans profession , then P.P. might indicate the presence of a profession. However, I couldn’t determine a reliable translation for the abbreviation, and the data didn’t support that theory. So I dismissed that.
Still think it might be police-related in some kind, as assumed by the posters above
Here is also a child of a survivor (Schusheim) who is speaking about collaborating french police (here)
I remember visiting Paris when we were kids. My father pointed out the Hotel de Ville, the City Hall of Paris, where he spent six weeks in jail until the collaborating French police figured out that he was a Jew and deported him to Auschwitz.
