unit stamp

[duv]

Hallo
my brother found brown 98k pouch with stamp 5(E)/EPLBtl. I,
any ideas about unit, I dont have photos, maybe some letters are not correct or some dots missing
best regards

[duv]

I wonder about (E) is it from nationality of unit?
Estonian or what

[PBT39]

Perhaps it's E.Pi.Btl 1 for Ersatz Pionier Bataillon 1, and 5 (E) is for 5 Ersatz-Kompanie?

The designation of the unit appears before the Ersatz or Ausbildung normally so that would not work out....

Most likely

5 (Ersatz) Kompanie, Eisenbahn Pionier Bataillon 1
