But the letter codes are exactly what's printed in huge letters right on
the extinguisher.
That makes them easily verifiable, and instantly localized since you'd tag

Putting the translation into OSM will help exactly zero people use the
right extinguisher in a real fire.  It would take
ages to agree on a scheme, and then mappers would not follow it anyway.
