Daniel,

Do not lose sight of the fact that the DB and the DR had different numbering conventions for locomotives.

While you could say that they started from a similar base (i.e. the DRG numbering system) due to political considerations (being politically correct!) it was not until the DBAG was formed that Germany again had a standardised locomotive numbering convention.
