Not a reference or color photo anywhere of Goring's Reichsmarschall interimstab. 

Göring's Interimstab was for sale at Hermann Historica about 2009.

I think the man is Karl Ritter von Prager. He has got about 15 awards that had ribbons https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=119530

While reading the biography of Generalmajor Kurt Andersen I stumbled upon a very well known name, but the man himself is absolutely unknown to me. I mean the commander of the "Abteilung von Proeck" in which Andersen met the trenches for the first time on 01.03.1915. Does anybody know anything about any von Proeck who commanded a batallion in1915?

It resembles the Reichsfuhrer shoulder board, but of course the emblem is different(three leaves joined at the base)... Were there any other branches of service or government that used the SS style boards?

Yes, there was one more state organisation that used the SS-pattern shoulderboards - the system of National Political Institutes of Education (Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten, NPEA or Nationalpolitische Lehranstalten, Napola). The officer ranked members of these Instituts wore silver cords on a black backing, just like the SS-Führer.

Didn't the judicial Beamten have triangles on their collar tabs instead of gulls? And wasn't the Truppenfarbe for TSD light blue?

Maybe it Beamte?

This is a shoulderboard for a Zollanwaerter (Landzoll). If the dark green stripes were thinner than the silver ones, this would be a Finanzanwaerter (Landzoll). However, as far as I can see they are of equal width. But it is definitely Landzoll.
