Hi Pete..

Yes - this one is is part of the "36" HK Rig (that's the "36" shown in the photo) - the holster is stamped 1936 with acceptance stamp above it. Here is a photo of the back of the holster (Luftwaffe Acceptance Stamp (LWaA2) just above the "1936" Date Stamp). Also - the digit dies match the "1936" on my "1936" HK - even to how the "3" and the "6" are slightly canted). Therefore, it is reasonable to deduce that this the holster was made after the production run of the "36" HKs and after the "1936" dies were available at the factory - in fact, it looks like there were actually 3 dies used - "19" die, a "3" and a "6"):
