Project derived from the BV-155.

From the post "Blohm und Voss Bv155 – Some interesting facts. Part 2. Compiled by Alex Halley" at the blog Luftwaffe Lovers:
"Due to the unavailability of this engine, Bv P205 in its final form, was powered by the DB603U. In the BV P205 were eliminated two wing-mounted radiators, the size was reduced and the space between the wheels of the landing gear was lowered. A ring radiator incorporated in the nose, while two moderately large air intakes for the radiator on both sides of the fuselage were placed near the cockpit. Clearly Blohm & Voss thought that Bv P205 had potential, reducing the number of radiators and change the engine cooling system could save weight and reduce drag. This new aircraft design was approved and received the designation of BV 155C. There was now a need to build prototypes, the prototypes of V1 to V3 corresponded with the B series aircraft, while V4 to V7 prototypes corresponded with C. The first prototype version Bv 155B was hoped for December 1944. Then later Blohm & Voss and the RLM decided to build only two prototypes BV 155B and then directly go to the series C. In early August 1944 the mock-up was completed and ready for inspection, and this successfully completed construction of the first prototypes was pushed as quickly as possible."

In retrospect, the P.205 was designated Bv 155C by the RLM, making it the second Blohm und Voss-designed variant of the Bv 155 (the baseline Bv 155 having been originally designed at Messerschmitt before being transferred to Blohm und Voss).

Ha, rubbish. Good job a wrote a book which completely clears all this up.
