[Milsurplus] What is the difference between a RBM and RBS receiver?

I am preparing to take a 2-11.4 Mhz RBM receiver to the annual SCARS 
auction, held this coming Saturday 2/18/16 in Orange, CA.  I would 
like to include an instruction manual, but need it for my other 
RBM.  I have a RBS manual, but no RBS receivers.  I made a quick 
check, and the RBM and RBS appear to be the same.  I'm assuming that 
they are the same except for minor differences like the name tag, but 
used with different systems.  Am I correct?

The auction is worth attending, even if it rains. Most items are BCB 
receivers from the 20's on, but there are always a number of 
Boatanchor type receivers.  For example SP-600's are almost always 
available; there was a R-390 a year or so ago.  I'm not an audio guy, 
but there are always audio amp's etc.  There are occasional 
transmitters; at least one this year since I'm taking a B&W 
5100.  See http://antiqueradios.org/ for details.
