A/B might be "al bisogno", as needed

However, you should add more context in your questions.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gilberto Lacchia : Yes, A/B (also written AB) means "al bisogno" and XV means 15 (drops). With drops we often use roman numerals http://literacy.kent.edu/Minigrants/Cinci/romanchart.htm
