Before I rush in and buy something, I just wanted to see if any of the experts saw anything strange with this replacement Wehrpaß...

Well, there is an Uffz Alois Becker listed as a pilot winning the Ehrenpokal in April 1943, although the date is slightly out, the Ordenstrager listing the date as the 30th.
The Feldpost Number in the stamp does match one of his units (NSG-7) so it might just be a bit of admin catch-up with a mistake made with the date.
And Feldwebel Alois Becker is listed as being KIA on 27th September 1944 while flying a Fw-190A-8 of 1./JG-26 (White 13 - W.Nr 175127) after being shot down by a Spitfire of 411 Squadron west of Emmerich-Spijk. He had no kills to his name.
Caldwell's JG-26 history also states that he joined JG-26 on 31st August after Fw-190 conversion training having flown 253 missions with StG-77.Last edited by hucks216; 08-17-2014, 04:30 PM.Comment

Yes I see the entry reporting his death, thank you for pointing it out.
Since he was predominantly a bomber pilot, I guess it makes sense that he wouldn't have any official "kills" under his name...
I believe this Wehrpaß has a date of issue of the 26th of June 1943, so he theoretically would have had it for about 15 months before his death.Comment
