METAR clause I've never seen before

The METAR this morning for London Luton is:
LONDON LUTON EGGW 050650Z 00000KT 1200 R08/P1500 BR OVC002 M01/M01 Q1023 R08/6102//

I'd never seen this additional runway visibility in use: R08/P1500. According to Metar decode the P means for this particular measure it's beyond the measuring limits. But is that above or below?

Also this R08/6102// at the end... any idea what that means?

With my eyes I can see there's fresh snow on the ground, and it's misty.
