Interesting, I had not noticed any nb_* in freebsd and can no longer
remember how I found no_NO. However, on 10.3 they seem to be the same:

> ls -ld /usr/share/locale/n{o,b}*ISO*
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 11 jan  2017 /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-1
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 11 jan  2017 /usr/share/locale/nb_NO.ISO8859-15
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 11 jan  2017 /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-1
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 11 jan  2017 /usr/share/locale/no_NO.ISO8859-15

> diff -urN /usr/share/locale/n{o,b}_NO.ISO8859-1
<nothing>

I'll recheck if they differ in 11.1.
