something like this will handle your extra requirement.

Check for the 5th char from the right if its a "-" display the 4 chars at the end of your string.  I think this covers all your use cases.

Try:

=TextBetween('0072-Villa-B9-M','-','',2)

when there are 3 '-', get the last (right) 2 fields?

......

if not we need some other rule to extract the correct string
