The original A9 effort was put on hold in 1942 to focus manpower on

Allied armies were pushing the Germans out of the A4 launch areas
within range of London.  It fairly quickly got renamed "A4b" because
anything named "A4" had higher industrial priority!

Much like re-designating the Redstone as the Jupiter-A or -C when
bureaucratically expedient.
