German reserve shoulder straps

Hello experts!

I am wondering if the German Reserve Regiments always wore the identical shoulder strap to the parent regiment, especially where a complex cypher is involved. Was it ever the case that a simple numeral substituted a cypher for ease of production?

Cheers

Owain.

Reserve regiments with the same number as active regiments with a unique cypher/symbol always used the Roman numeral for the regimental shoulder strap.
