Feldpost Stamp translation/identification

[SammyT]

Can anyone identify these feldpost stamps. I am having trouble decifering what they mean. I listed my guesses below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

1 = some sort of infantry batallion? Company G?? I'm not sure what the "II" and the "486" stand for.

2 = some sort of batallion but not sure for what service? 5th Company? 463?

3 = feldpost number 12227, I tried looking this one up with the feldpost number search site but none of the dates listed on that site for 12227 correspond to the date on my envelope which is "26.2.40"

486 is Battalion Number
II is battalion number indicating 2nd battalion with same number, ie 486
6 is company number
