Al het belangrijke is uitvoerig toegelicht, ik heb slechts een aanvulling.
Een hele behulpzame lijst over de nummering en gecontracteerde firma's kan je hier vinden:

Uittreksel:
RB Nr: 0/000/0000.
The first prefix number could range from 0 through to 9This number determined the membership of the various groups in the realm of Trade and Industry (Reichsgruppenleitzahl)
• 0 Industry
• 1 Crafts
• 2 Commercial wholesale trading companies
• 3 Banking
• 4 Insurance Companies
• 5 Energy (Electrical companies and such)
• 6 Tourism (Including Hotels, Wine and Mineral Water companies)
• 7 Traffic
• 8 Food Industry
• 9 Not otherwise mentioned groups
In our field of militaria collecting, the most frequently observed numbers will be zero, one or nine. “0", "1" and "9" could be used by manufacturing companies, main contractors or subcontractors.
The second group of four numbers represents a district code that identifies the geographic location of the company. In Germany, a local region is known as a Kreis. Still called that today. The Kreis numbers are organized according to a national listing of some kind and are not based on Gau or Land organization. There has been some speculation that these coincided with the codes used by the German Postal system, but this has been proved to be a dead end.
I have carefully compiled the following list of locations by RB nummer. Numbers starting with 0/1000 and higher all appear to be in Ostmark or in the Sudetenland.
