Just finished up a book named "Null Acht Funfzehn", 1954, by Helmut Kirst, its about a German artillery unit in the Eastern Front from 42-45, relevance is that each unit had a "home" support unit in Germany that supplied it with personnel & equipment. They trained replacements and procured large & small items, would send to "active" unit as required. Procurement was local by unit for most small items such as uniforms, field gear, accessories, ect. The large items were obtained thru the govt then shipped thru the home unit to the front. Could explain a lot of different sources & markings or lack there of for items.
