RDA has one transcribe what is there. Thus you get nothing (if not
there), the spelled out jurisdiction, an abbreviation, or a postal
code.
SLC follows the RDA option to supply jurisdiction in brackets if
lacking (which none of the examples seem to have done; many example
predate the addition of that option). SLC does not transcribe postal
codes (they are not unique), but rather supplies jurisdiction spelled
out.
