The engine number falls within the range for an R2 but the frame number seems like it might be for an R4. There are some funny listings where the R4 numbers are also shown for the R2. He has several sets of numbers for the R2 and R4.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.

The BMW R 2 frame No. 955xx, engine No. 133xx was manufactured in 1936 and delivered on March 31st, 1936 to the BMW dealer Bähr in Kiel.
The "P" most likely stood for "Pressstahl" meaning the "pressed steel", the construction method of the frame.
We hope this information is helpful for you.
Yours sincerely,
