Recent article in SF Gate with banh mi ingredient recipes states about the rolls that "Wheat flour, which had to be imported, was cut with rice flour, which gave rolls their signature airiness"

I believe that all the places here in Oakland use the a local Vietnamese bakery (whose name escapes me) and they use a mix of rice and wheat flour in their rolls. So at Cam Huong, Banh Mi Ba Le and others here in Oakland I think that is what you are getting.
Most of the groceries in the East Lake neighborhood carry their products.

Cam Huong has its own bakery. I *think* BC Deli, Cam Huong, and Ba Le all use different bread.

The bagged Cam Huong banh mi that you can buy at grocery stores doesn't include rice flour in the listed ingredients. Identical to the bread that is sold at the Webster St bakery.
