We try to enforce some categorisation within the pxx suffixes for LDraw
patterned parts, using p0x for General/Miscellaneous and Town. See
<http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/ref/patterns/> for the full list.
The Patterned Parts Reference (eg.
<http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptpatterns.cgi?p=3003> is a good way to look up
what is already known to LDraw - and yes, the existing 3003pxx parts pre-date
the formalisation of the categorisation.
So, please use 3003p01.dat as the filename for the red dot version (and if you
fancy the trivial extra work to make the blue dot version, you can use
3003p02.dat).
As Steve explained you will not be responsible for generating a third part
number, because peeron aligns with LDraw when the part makes it into the
official library.
