Hi,

The brass tag appears to be from a pre-WWII company that was not reinstated after 1944.

Those that were reinstated or newly formed after 1944 are:

INF I - INF XIII (23 Infantry batalions)
BEW BAT I - V (5 guard batalions)
VEW I - IV (4 armoured car divisions)
VEW IX (or 9) (armoured car and depot division)
VD ART I - III (3 field artillery groups)
2 engineering field companies
1 engineering 'workers' company
1 supply troop company
2 military police batalions and a number of companies
several hospital groups, some depots and parachute and commando groups.

These all existed between 1944 and 1950.
