Those are some fantastic photos! I have no idea what unit they're from...do you see any markings in the photo's? Use a jewelers loupe...they work well!

Can't help you on the Unit, but being a wonderful little SS Marder set , your inbox is going to be full of offers

Thanks, guys!
Chris: tried all this myself! No cufftitles, only "normal" Sig-runes, no special markings on the "Marders"...
Many rings in the gun-barrels! And no names or labels on the clothes drying on the gun-barrels...

Kind regards, Peter

We know the unit isn't Totenkopf. LAH used more advanced Marder IIIs, with the rear engine and the gun moved forward. Wiking used earlier Marder IIs, not the 38(t) based Marder III.

Das Reich was known to use early-style Marder IIIs with the rear-mounted gun, as here. So, I concur with the Das Reich assessment.

Thanks for the great help, guys!
