For what it's worth
https://www.r-project.org/foundation/board.html
says
The R Foundation is seated in Vienna, Austria and currently hosted by
the Vienna University of Economics and Business. It is a registered
association under Austrian law and active worldwide. The R Foundation
can be contacted by e-mail to R-foundation at r-project.org
The statutes here <https://www.r-project.org/foundation/> probably
won't be useful, but you might be able to get the Austrian registration
documents from someone at the R foundation (see e-mail above); it seems
as though that might qualify for lists A and B in your documentation
specs, and they might be able to provide you with an Austrian tax
receipt for list C ...
