1917 dwm unit marking help

George...I wonder if it would be the reserve 78 since the 78th was pre mobilization. I read that the reserve 78 division was formed around '14 or '15 which would make sense. The only other 78th was the third reich. What do you think?

If it were a reserve regiment it would either be stamped with a cursive "R" or it would appear as R.J.R or R.R.
