Hallo Michael
From the additional images you posted I see the confirmation that the sweatband and the stirndruckfrei have been roughly sewn. On the other hand, however, I do not see a rigid capboard and the lining does not have seams' double holes.
Returning to the lining it would be necessary, in my opinion, to compare the Sprengpfeil's logo with any available post-war example in order to be able to certainly date it.
With regards to the outside, the gabardine fabric can be credible and seems to be suitable with the pipings wear. The eagle is sewn quite roughly. It would be interesting to check if you find any signs of previous insignias inside.
Finally it would be advisable to check the signs of wear on the lower front part of the outer band which strangely seems not to have affected the lower part of the oakleaves & cockade.
In other words, in my humble opinion, there is no condemnation of this cap. Indeed, I think and repeat that it requires a thorough analysis before drawing a definitive judgment.
Best regards
