We have a Karl von Hake, but I think we don't have him yet: Fritz Adolf Carl von Hake, born 15.8.1874 in Soldin. 1914 Hptm in 5. GzF. Cdr of IR 462, Maj aD. Died 30.9.1958 in Bad Hersfeld (acc. to data from myheritage). His HHOX is mentioned along with his other awards in a publication "Geschichte der brandenburgischen Familie von Hake", 1928:

Major Dencker can only be Fritz Hermann Dencker, cdr of FußAR 10: (Glenn provided the info: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=104571) Died 28. Aug. 1952 in Haselünne as OTL aD acc. to data from myheritage (they have his birth date as 24 Jan 1869 in Solingen). Hptm Davids is Adolf Wilhelm Davids, born 24.4.1881 in Schleswig, died 31.3.1933 (ancestry). We had him here already: https://gmic.co.uk/topic/39659-ek2-18701914-spange-baden-mystery-medal-bar/

The Lt dR "Belimack" in our list is probably a misread Fraktur writing of "Behmack". Belimack does not exist as a name. We have a Lt dR Kurt Behmack in the VL, from MG-Kompanie of IR 72. From Bunzlau/Schlesien. This looks like another fascinating story: born 1887, he was from a Jewish family, became Zahnarzt in Torgau, emigrated to Paraguay in 1939 and returned to Germany, died in 1962. https://stolpersteine-torgau.de/index.php/orte-biographien/karl-marx-platz-6-behmack

Trying to find the first name of Hptm dR Skrodzki from RIR 38. He cannot be the Hptm dL (1914) from GGR 5, that was Friedrich/Fritz, born 1864 in Limburg, in captivity from 1917 to 1919. He can only be the Lt dR in the 1914 RL, who was originally in GrenR 11 (with location Neutomischel): Erich Skrodzki (1883-1955) https://marjorie-wiki.de/wiki/Erich_Skrodzki His death certificate lists him as "Direktor des Rechnungshofes des Deutschen Reiches a.D.".
