There are some single letter prefixes that they had during the war (O- would be officer, for instance), but the two letter codes came later and would be post war.

The J.B. Brown tag is going to be difficult to find info since you only have his first and last initials and the name "Brown" is very common. I checked the WWII Enlistment Records and there were 24 J.B. Brown's and none of them matched the service number on the dog tag.

If you search by the ASN, the tag belonged to a J. Bachman Brown from Cuyahoga, Ohio. Enlisted December 1942.

There is an obituary for a J. Bachman Brown in Ohio who passed away in 2001 and served in the US Army.
