Just a guess: Multi-BRand.

I do not think this is a general recognized abbreviation. My company uses
the following system. Each component will have a datasheet. Each
approved vendor will need to be added to the system. If a component
has more than one vendor, they will in general put each vendor's datasheet
inside.
