III/5./II/JR 7
The basic system was such that Roman numerals were used for platoons and battalions, while Arabic numerals were used for companies and units.
The abbreviation could also be build in another manner in which the battalion number was omitted and company number was that of the particular company in its regiment, but it was bit more complicated manner of doing things, since the sequence of companies in infantry regiments changed in between Winter War and Continuation War.
