What does the DA, DB, and DC at the end of RIC but before the dot mean?

Sometimes when I request data for a RIC, TRTH returns 3 RICs. They are the same for the first 3 or 4 letters, but some have DA, DC after the original RIC and before the ".". So what do they mean? all fields are the same for these RICs.

An example is AEJ.AX. When I requested daily price data for AEJ.AX, there are AEJ.AX, AEJDC.AX, and AEJDA.AX.

    Please refer to this FAQ. For more information, please contact content experts by opening a case via MyRefinitiv.

    Referto Quote pages <AU/CHAR1> to <AU/CHAR4>.To give you an example, an ordinary RIC will be converted to deferred RIC with the extension DA or DC and it will trade for 10-15 days.It will revert back to the ordinary share, only the trading in deferred is complete within 15 days. E.g. When <BHP.AX> trades in deferred, it will have the RIC as <BHPDA.AX> or <BHPDC.AX> and will have a different ISIN. Once it completes the trading, it will revert back to <BHP.AX> with the old ISIN. Please note that the RICs mentioned here are just examples for better explanation.
