Hallo Dénes,
The / could have been used to demark elements of the series of digits that define a part. In the case of these engine Werk-Nr as defined by DB, they do consist of two parts, the manufacturer id and the production serial number. The id can be a single digit, two, three or four depending on the date and allocated manufacturer. The serial number of the motor is after the id but, there is no / to demark this construction of the full Werk-Nr. This is the evidence from almost all 650+ engines in the database and shows the marking of the Baumusterschild. However, it may be possible that clerical data was recorded differently by other contractors.
