Gd

The shoulder straps, 1st Model Feldbluse straps, look good. I don't know about the cyphers. That being said, I have never seen any photographic evidence of the "pointed" straps being worn with GD cyphers metal or embroidered. You will find these straps with a "W" cypher (embroidered and metal) indicating the Wach-Bataillon Berlin. This unit was the genesis for GD. Enlisted/NCO GD straps are found in the rounded style for the M-36, M40, M44 tunics and variants of those styles.

The Wach-Bataillon Berlin also existed during the Reichswehr period using the "W" cypher. The "W" cypher is a specific style for the Wacht, not to be confused with ones, such as, used for Wehrkreis.

Attached are scans of Reichswehr period moleskin straps and a 1st Model Feldbluse strap made from the dark green badge cloth.

May we please see the inside prongs of the straps? IMO the straps and GD emblems are possibly good. The problem is you have an early board with a later period cipher which like said previously has never been seen and IMO was not really a possibility.
