2 ID discs

[Bas]

I need some help with two ID discs:

a) 2./J.B. 373 - could it be Instandsetzungs-Bataillon (Infanterie-Bataillon sounds a bit odd to me) ??

b) 1./R.A.K. d. F.T.S.u.F.W.T.S. - okay, the latter part stands for Fliegertechnische- und Flieger-Waffentechnische Schule, but what
about the R.A.K.??

Thanks in advance!!

a) I would say that it is Infanterie Bataillon

b) Seeing as it is a training unit this most probably is Reserve Ausbildung Kompanie

Thanks Ian!

But wouldn´t an ID disc of a regular Infanterie-Bataillon be inscribed in the usual way: Bataillon Nr./I.R. XY??
