Default Keep leading zero in number (Column also contains text)

I have a column with different product ID

Some of the prodID are all text, some are mixed text & num and some
are numbers only.

I formatted the column to text and fixed everything manually.

The data comes from an external source - When I refresh the data some
of the data from the provider have leading zero and some don't and
it's breaking my lookups.

Is it possible to have a macro check each cell in the column (B)
Even though column is formatted as text I want to:

If value is all numeric and does not start with zero add zero
otherwise do nothing.

So if my data looks like this
014-07899-00E
014-W7599-TRE
015-40649-A
01553
01559
01561
100384
100443
100519
100537

I'd like it to look like this

014-07899-00E
014-W7599-TRE
015-40649-A
01553
01559
01561
0100384
0100443
0100519
0100537
