Werner,
I've encountered the same stamps on Winterjacken (same maker, same Berlin 1944 HBA) For me, these are also the first pair of trousers that I see with this stamps.
The big 2 is probably the size (standard size indication on most winter garments).
The other marking looks similar in structure to the stamps found in normal trousers and such (Post 1943 versions that is, the markings of the previous versions consisted out of only 4 numerals).
Examples:
Pre 1943: (numbers made up, just as an example...)99 80
120 70
99= Inside length of the leg
80= Width of waist/body
120= Lateral lenght
70= Width of seat
Post 1943
Same as above, with the addition of two extra, three digit numerals, beingmaximum height wearerIn general, these extra numerals were above the four standard numerals. These additional numerals were to enable a more suitable distribution of clothes.
minimum height wearer
Now let's apply this to the curious stamps in Petr's lovely Sumpf '43 pants...
The following is not conclusive, but just my own, personal opinion.168 180
80 102
114 112
168 = minimum height wearer 180 = maximum height wearer
80 = inside length of leg 102 = width of waist/body
114 = lateral length 112 = width of seat
