I've been looking all morning for your answer! Don't know for sure, but here are my thoughts. (For what they're worth :-) )

I have found no rule saying not to use the English letter indicator in this situation, so I would use it.
Brailling the numbers without the numeric indicator may be correct, but might be confused as punctuation, so I believe that the numeric indicator should be used. No spaces anywhere in the expression..
I'm sure you are already using the Nemeth parentheses (dots 12356 and dots 23456).


Interestingly enough, DBT, in Math Code, Technical Context, uses the letter indicator but not the numeric indicator. MegaDots, in the Nemeth (BabyNemeth) Style uses the numeric indicator but not the letter indicator.

I am in the United States.  If you are elsewhere, this may be all wrong!!!
Is there an "expert" that can give a more definitive answer?

Could you be more specific about what you need to braille? (Actual text and context) We'll get some answers!
