  2. (international standards, obsolete) Former ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for Portuguese Timor from 1974 to 1975.
    Synonym: TMP (alpha-3)

Usage notes

The code was deprecated in favour of TL following the restoration of independence from Indonesia and the reestablishment of the country as Timor-Leste. However, it remained in use before that point, as the 1976 Indonesian annexation was never legally recognised by the United Nations.
