I thought this might be an original LW Mechanic's Cap that some enterprising collector "upgraded" back in the old days into an SS Panzer O/S Cap.

Is this a LW Mechanic's O/S Cap?

That is correct that the Waffen SS was coping more with shortages and utilized Heer pattern or make shift head gear and/ or uniform parts...so why not also LW if it was more in line with SS pattern...
And even in the Heer they wore strange caps...
Otto Carius, the army panzer Ace wore an SS pattern cap without roundel...
In his autobiography if I remember correctly it states that his overseas cap was made by his mother!
Could it be this one? Again he is a Heer officer...stranger things happened!
