There is reference to the set being made in 1943. I believe it was to 
supplement the British MCR1.

In his book "The Clandestine Radio Operators" Jean-Louis Perquin 
documents it's use by French resistance networks and SAS from June to 
September 1944.
There is a photo in the book of an RBZ special being used by a member of 
the Free French 4 SAS.

Wireless for the Warrior vol. 4 has a photo of the set in use by 
Norwegian resistance.
