Re: RAD uniforms
The RAD men were part of RAD Arbeitsgau XVII located in Niedersachen-Mitte. Numbers of the Arbeitsgruppen were 170-177. Your guys wear 175, but the pic is back to front.
The guys in black are members of the DAF. The black armband, worn by the NSDAP Political leader, would be for mourning. The other guy in the brown shirt is a member of the SA.
Hope this helps?
Cheers, Ade.

Re: RAD uniforms
Adrian is right regarding the black stripe as a mourning symbol. It may have to do with Hindenburgs death in August 1934. Then all the NSDAP and Reichswehr formations would wear these black bands. Around that time also Hitler took over the function of president as well as chancellor in one person. The picture might date from that time.
