Insignia on the overcoat... What can this be?

Thanks for your comments!
At first sight he might look like a half vulcanese volunteer who was accidentally beamed down to Russia 1942, actually he's a German and from an independent artillery observer unit. The Swaz on his cap is only barely visible. The only other device that I can see is his bridal ring...
I showed another image of him in <a href="http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18279">an earlier thread</a>:

Unfortunately there is no more slides that show this "patch", I hope I had a few more so that I can find some conclusion out, but someone in the future may come across another photo for a more conclusive explanation!

Hello Akira, beutiful photos and before i say anything, i must add that your new web site layout is very impressive, congradulations.
Ok my two sence would be, i couldnt find any examples that looked likes the the insignia, could it be a invention of the regiment that he was posted to.
Im new at all this, but could a officer assign different color combinations to different groups within his formtion. ie, The Yellow and Whites would prepair ammunition, the Blue and Blacks would be spotting targets
Maybe this wasnt allowed in the german army for officers to be this creative but maye it was??
Hope this idea helps.
Regards.
Joshua

Thanks Joshua... Though I tend to think that "the patch" is actually a unit insignia, but I haven't been able to find anything so far... Maybe someone in the future can find something from his archive... Maybe I can... It's my hope... Posting something here will give the mystery a better chance to be solved, that's what I love about this forum!
