Ground dug cypher "R"

Good evening gentleman.
Found this cypher on german positions of WW2, but it is not familiar to me. Checked many shoulder board cyphers, but did not find this one. The stripes on the cypher are not typical for german ww2 cyphers...Was also thinking about Russian Imperial army, but than again shouldn't it be in cyrillic shrift?? Would like to hear Your opinions about this item.
Best regards,
Peter

Hello.
Found out that this letter has nothing to do with military theme...
It's funny, but it was used by people to mark their shoes with their initials, so the owner knows which are his shoes between many similar shoes belonging to other people.

Sometimes these kind of "cyphers" can be found on WW1 positions.
