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

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The RBM-5 from S/N 1011 also has the dial lock.  That plus R-506 are a 
couple of the reasons that I thought that the RBM-5 HF was probably the same 
receiver as the three RBS models.  And the more common (at the time they were 
actually in service) power supply for the RBM was probably the dynamotor 
unit.
