Which Nationality 'm43'?

[NZMark]

Hi Team,
Although not German, I've been asked to submit this one to work out 'where, when, who?'
An obvious Bermutze derivative, but who made it? The fabric is quite 'bristly', and scratchy.
Any help would be appreciated
Mark.

Lining and markings.

[NZMark]

Closure buttons. Both are hard, solid cast plastic.

There appears to be thread on the front, indicating removed insignia?
Happy New Year All

Thank You ALL! What period of service are we talking about? Is the cap complete - should there be more insignia?
