The symbols D and P may be graphically similar, but given that in the
original Greek alphabet delta is represented not by "D" but by an
equilateral triangle, I don't think one could easily confuse the letters
in question.

I don't believe that there was any thought of visual confusion (perhaps
mental). I have heard people transpose letters when speaking. I would
suppose this could equally well be done when writing.
