It's difficult to tell if the original marking of 28.G.M.G.23. was a mistake or not but the first "G" has obviously been over-stamped with an "R". 28.R.M.G.23. should read "28th Infantry Regiment, Machine Gun Company, weapon No. 23."

If the original over-stamped "G" wasn't a mistake, then I'd have to look at Noll's book to see what it designated. However, it ended up with the 28th Infantry Regiment.
