Hello Don;
The "rectangular" shape of the collar tabs indicate post war manufacture / issue.
I believe they and the boards are original German military issue, but post WWII.
I'm sure others will provide their opinions as well.
I have seen them worn like this but the general rule is post war and the guy that is selling them has post war items east german items for sale so I say post war made.
Personally, I would love to grab a set of rectangular tabs to join my other sets were I able to confirm pre-45 construction. These give me a bit of pause however due to the odd dotted outline on the rear.
Here's Rommel again with a rectangular set...but these are risky...No doubt 9 out of 10 are post war!
The tabs appear to be much wider than the MUnster Museum Rommel display!
