Question DDRI marking on canteens

Hi all!

Maybe someone knows what it means labeling "DDRI" on canteens and cups?
In this topic it is said about a similar marking on NVA visors:

Quote:

With regards to dates, it should also be noted that in the very first years of the DDR, from around 1956, tunics and hats were often marked DDR/I or DDR/II referring to the first and second years of production


If I understand correctly, "I" or "II" means the year of release? (In this case, 1956).
Is this true, or am I mistaken?

Best regards,Michael
