The Reed 4 book Entr’acte has the Eb Contrabass Clarinet playing down to a low B (which I’m presuming is a mistake), but otherwise the part seems to require just a low Eb. Older contras may only have a low E.

  Edited to reflect low E-flat requirement, and to accept your assumption that the notated low B is in error. Thanks!
