tored as they were in the R.B.A. (Reserve Bekleidungs Amt).

I don’t think the R.B.A. existed in peacetime, rather they were established during the war. From what I have been able to find, a part of the clothing and equipment for the “Kriegsformationen” was stored at the Bezirkskommandos, another part came from the active troops.
Regards,
Lars

@Pilippe: The stamps are hard to see, even with the helmet in your hands. But you can imagine them in this photo:
