Back then, we needed a country ID sticker or badge on the rear of the car to go across a border with our standard national license plates (e.g. France). Each country has a code. Yours is 'P' since 1910. Poland is 'PL' when it was given a code in 1921. Since 'P' was already taken up by Portugal by that date, they were given 'PL'! And so on for most other countries!

I collect automotive memorabilia. And I have quite a number of these old country coded ID badges used before the current EU license plates seen on your car! See the wall on the left on the enclosed photograph!
