Keep in mind the AW designation is Bach's system. Other mouthpiece brands will use different names. For Bach mouthpieces (and other generic brands that copy Bach)the larger the number the smaller the rim diameter (it doesn't represent anything concrete)and the letter designates cup depth A deepest and C or D shallowest (not used much on tuba models)
Schilke for example is the opposite. the larger the number the larger the rim diameter.
