I believe the 1st Battalion of the 18th IR changed to the 2nd Battalion of the 80th IR. That would put them in the 34th Infantry Division, which was in northern Italy in mid to late 1944. It seems to match the story of the gun. The German sites don't always translate well, so it's hard to tell if I got that correct. Also, when were the transitional markings on the rear applied?
