It is written as "WO2 RM" to distinguish it from other Arms WO2 rank.

The Corps is still the only british service, arm where the Warrant is only awarded after succesful completion of a course the Advanced Command Course (ACC).

I seem to also recall that when it first came out it was written as WORM so the 2 was added very quickly.
