Breadmaker Types of flour question

BertieUK

I have a Severin Breadmaker Model BM 3983 450W 600g capacity

In its recipe book it mentions different types of flour that I cant find in my local supermarket, such as

Wheat flour type 405, 550 and 1050, also
Rye flour type 1150

Maybe the recipies are for another countries shops, or a more specialised shop.

Could anyone shed some light on an equivalent to these flour types.

405 is pastry flour. 550 is all purpose flour.
1050 is a first clear flour.

any 550 flour will do the job. ie simple plain flour.
