> I've rarely seen it referred to as "WW2", as opposed to "WWII",

I'm an older Brit and had to think about this one but it's usually been WW2 as far as I can remember. I think the WWII is perhaps more recent or American usage.

I've just had a look and The Commonwealth War Graves Commission refers to it as WW2, or in words as "World War Two" / "Second World War"
