Viotto had separate German and Reform Boehm mouthpieces, but if I remember correctly the only difference was that the bore of the RB's were a little bit longer than on their German counterparts. That was probably due to the general tuning level in Germany of a=443, compared to 442/440 in most places were RB-clarinets are used.
Previously also Wurlitzer had dedicated RB mouthpieces. Don't know how they differed, but if it also was only about a longer bore, I guess the same effect on tuning can be achieved just by a longer barrel (or pullout of barrel).
Ruben, a possibility besides Paul's suggestion is to order a barrel from Wurlitzer for Boehm mouthpieces. I started that way on my Wurlitzer RB's, using a Selmer C85 for several years (but later switched to German and Viennese mouthpieces).
