We changed the abbreviations to -04 and -03 in tzdata 2017a because the alphabetic abbreviations were something we invented and didn't seem to be used much in English. To get abbreviations in suitable for your locale, you might look into CLDR. For more, please see: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html#notation which also should help to explain why applications should not rely on alphabetic abbreviations.
