George,
the mouse gray backed boards indicate " Reserve" most of the untouched uniforms I have seen are reserve units. most of the later bahnschutz personnel held dual ranks in either the heer or ss. later in the war the non essential bahnschutz personnel (mainly the reserves) were called up into their wehrmact units. hence leaving there banhschutz uniforms back at home.
the 15 is for Koln.
