R is for Raw. It's that simple.
See tm(4), 7th Edition Unix says it clearly, but I won't type that in by hand.
Berkeley 2.9 has tm(4) saying:
The mt files discussed above are useful when it is desired
to access the tape in a way compatible with ordinary
files. When foreign tapes are to be dealt with, and espe-
cially when long records are to be read or written, the
`raw' interface is appropriate. The associated files are
named rmt0, ..., rmt15, and nrmt0, ..., nrmt15 but the
same minor-device considerations as for the regular files
still apply.
