BTA-- British Territorial Army?
S-- Spares/Salvage only
R-- Repairable
Tony,
I am now certain that BTA stands for British Troops Austria. Your suggestion is refered to as just plain TA. Regarding S and R, I looked at Nigel's message again and now think it is the typical army parlance, S meaning Serviceable and R, as you correctly say, Repairable.
