wear of skulls without tabs

[Gustavo66]

Hello
I did pick up this panzermann portrait
what do you think about the lack of tabs under the skulls?
Picture is dated spring 1943
I have seen this practice with HG units but not in the army

Cool photo, first time I have seen this done without any Russian tress or the skull on the tab. Matt

Fairly common in the HG Pz. Rgt. but unusual in the Heer.

Was it a more common on the field gray Stug. jacket, have seen it on several photos.
