Elderly Bavarian fellow

[webr55]

Have a look at my new pic: This elderly Bavarian fellow with 2 long service eagles is apparently still Oberleutnant-level, maybe Oberzahlmeister?

Ribbon bar probably: EK2, BMVX (no swords?), Hindenburg X, 2x LS, Sudeten w/ bar, Rupprecht medal?, Austrian Bravery medal?

Can you tell if he has TWO rows of Waffenfarbe under his shoulder boards? Maybe a Beamter, but not a paymaster or we'd see white under there. (I'm ignoring the hat Soutache, since it doesn't match but is "not PART of him" like the jacket.)

He must be wearing Wehrmacht 12 and 4 to replace his Bavarian XII (or surely he'd be SOME rank higher, by the time he was vacationing in North Africa? ).

Maybe-- since the rest of his ribbon bar looks correct, in last place he is PROPERLY wearing the Hungarian WWI Commemorative Medal without the usual unnecessary swords on its specific ribbon.

Ah yes, he might have been an NCO during WW1 who got the XII. Here's the shoulderboard; I think I see only one colour. Afrikakorps Beamter?

It looks the right size and flat end to be an "HV" cypher to me, too.
