R-packs can be somewhat non-standard, but you can usually apply a
'reality check' on the value, as there are only a limited number of
R-pack values in common use.

These could be either 15/22 or 150/220 - I've seen both, although the
latter often has a 'p' suffix. If in doubt, measure! At least 151 or
221 is non-ambiguous.
