Ther5e are two types of yellow (shades) one is Fernmeldtruppe, and the other is Panzeraufklärungstruppe or Fernspähtruppe, or Panzerabwehr. Here would appear to be Panzerabwehr, or Fernspähe. (Panzers do not do to well in the mountains).
And to the comment that "the Edelweiß is on the wrong sleeve", the Edelweiß has ALWAYS been on the left, the same as all other unit badges.
Do not take photos, or records of ANYTHING before 1960 as evidence of anything. The uniform regulations were only in their infancy, and basically people sewed on badges where ever it suited the C.O of the unit.
To some extent this goes today. I am allowed to have Tätigkeitsabzeichen on my shirt and Bordjacke. My mate in another unit is only allowed the metal ones on dress uniform.
But at least today which SIDE they are on is standardised.
