Thanks for your reply but I've never seen those V codes before and they are certainly not used in 35SQN's history sheets. The codes used by the RAAF were three letter codes e.g.
VTA Vung Tau (today's IATA code is VTG)
TSN Tan Son Nhut etc etc
I've found more thany 70 of them but there could be some duplication through illegibility. It's my understanding that 35SQN was tasked by the US military, hence my assumption that the codes may have originated with the US military.
