Well, not a Jagdpanther crew ID like you originally asked for, but here's a Market-Garden Soldbuch text and images take from when it was originally posted here:
I have a few IDs to Panzer crews who participated in the Battle of Arnhem (including a Soldbuch to a Tiger I crew member from "schwere Panzer-Kompanie "Hummel.") Here's one of them; a Soldbuch to Panzeroberschütze (later Gefreiter) Hans Schütze who served with Panzer-Kompanie "Mielke" of Kampfgruppe "Knaust."
Notice the entries on page 04 for "Marschkompanie"/Pz.Ers.Abt.11 and also Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung.11 on line a., section B and section D respectively, as well as the 5./Kampfgruppe "Knaust" (Panzer-Kompanie "Mielke") entry on line b, section C.
This very Soldbuch is featured on page 84 of "Retake Arnhem Bridge" by Bob Gerritsen and Scott Revell (of DefendingArnhem.com). It's an incredibly rare piece of "Battle of Arnhem" Panzer crew history and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have acquired it for my collection.Attached Files
