May I ask where the first image comes from, please? I note the discrepancy (LIR 84 and LIR 34) between the two sources but I imagine that the death notice is correct (perhaps a typo in the first source).
it is an error from

I conducted a page by page search of my 1918 Rangliste and I believe that the mystery man is:

1915. About the collaboration of civil and soldiery postal departments.

information 'on-line'
In 1913 the structure, organization and scope of activity of the military postal system was reorganized in Austria-Hungary as set out in the Dienstbuch E-47. According to this rulebook, the Imperial and Royal Feldpost was a ‘joint army institution’, the task of which was to convey all official and private post (‘letters, postcards, printed material, newspapers, commercial samples and parcels’) between the army in the field and the home front.
When the Imperial and Royal Feldpost began its work immediately after war was declared (in early August), 118 field post offices were set up and staffed by 620 officials. By the end of the First World War and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Feldpost the number of field post offices had risen to 500 and that of the base post offices to 200. At the end of 1918 around 2,800 officials were employed in the Austro-Hungarian military postal service.
All Austro-Hungarian main, field and base post offices had a number that was assigned at random. This ensured that the location and movements of individual troop units were kept secret and also made it easier to sort the huge volumes of mail. The numbers contained the essential address coordinates to ensure accurate and expeditious delivery of letters, postcards and parcels to the fronts. The address of a soldier was composed of their rank, first and family names, the body of troops they were attached to and the number of the relevant field post office.
In February 1917 this system of field post office numbers was also adopted in the German Empire, where they had previously been designated according to troop headquarters and high command headquarters.

postmen were called to the army only during mobilization, and in a peace-time used services of civil service.
