Is it typical for post codes to be posted like housenumbers? Either on buildings or postboxes?
Postcodes almost never. The only time you would normally find them is where the building is a company's registered office.
Housenumbers seem to be only on (gut feeling) about 30% of houses these days, and maybe 5% of commercial premises. (When they are on houses, they are typically unreadable after dark. Almost no-one has front gates any longer, which might have carried them in the past.)
What appears on street signs and post boxes is the outbound postcode (up to the end of the first number).
Businesses are required to provide an address for service in advertising, including web sites. This may well be their accountant's. Electronically, they need to provide a geographic address, but, on paper, I think a PO Box number is acceptable. Non-compliance is endemic, e.g. businesses only contactable over mobile phone numbers.
