Batch: merge pdfs with same "filename-part"

I want to merge some PDFs, But I have to merge a lot of pdfs with filenames like this (for exemple) :

The batch-script should parse the filenames and merge all files which starts with the same filename, like (for exemple) :

P388
P4632

Thank you

I'm not aware that XY does any merging of pdf files and would rather expect to use a pdf tool for such and not a file manager.
If you find a pdf tool with CLI you could certainly script XY to search for the files to be merged and then call the pdf tool from the same script.

PDFtk (https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/) can be used for such a purpose (the cli part of it)...
