Do you know to which regiment they belonged? Basic unit was the regiment, regiments were numbered throughout.
All regiments would have a 2nd bn.

Forget my previous mail. I should have read carefully before answering.
Landwehr was organized in regiments.
Landsturm usually in battalions, only very rarely in regiments.
Most Landsturm battalions carried the name of the town/district where they had been raised.
Example:
Army infantry troops of 5th Army in June 1918
- Sturmbataillon 5
- Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Minden (VII/58)
- Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Chemnitz (XIX/12)
- Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Kitzingen (II./bayer. 8)
- Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Reutlingen (XIII./4)
- Stabsoffiziere MG-Abt. 55 und 67
