Thanks for the photos. They provide additional evidence that both Hn. and H. were used as abbreviations for Hannover. I suspect the #2 mag was a later replacement.
It is interesting that your dad captured this rig near Gießen, which was in the state of Hessen and not very close to Hannover. This and the holster suggest that the rig was in the hands of the military at that time. It would be very interesting to learn how it got from Hannover to Gießen but I doubt we will ever know.
