I would still maintain that it is appropriate to use the ref key for such reference numbers. Internal or not, it's still the primary official reference number for that stretch of road. I would argue that the "problem" with the numbers being displayed on the map is more of a rendering issue. Such reference numbers may not be entirely internal anyway. I've seen them appear both on official publicly displayed road closure notices (to describe which roads are being closed) and also on the Definitive Statement for Public Rights of Way (to describe where a particular footpath starts or ends).
