The Royal Arsenal Cooperative Society was perhaps the largest co-op in Britain. They had several shops in what is now the Greater London area. My guess is that the letters were to distinguish these shops.

As for the number, it was evidently punched in later. It may be a membership card number. If so, Royal Arsenal would not have been pleased to be unable to be unable to re-cycle the token.
