sef1962,

The IR.31 was in the IX.Army Corps. The infantry regiments of this corps wore white straps with red numbers, as you surmised . If your number is white, what you have is an example of an enlisted man's shoulder strap from the 31.Brigade of a Landwehr-Bezirks-Kommando. If the number 31 is yellow, then it's back to the drawing board!
