I know one officer who had such a cap (promotet enlistet cap), after he had lost his sidecap in a burning tank.
He recieved it 1944. It was his last choice, he indeed wants a crusher, but there was no chance, he also could not recieve another sidecap (was out in 1944), so he had to take the black M43. He was very unhappy, because it was unpractical on a tank. After the war he removed the insignia an did wear the cap a few years on.
