Question about unique colonial SWA medal bar

[militaria0815]

I got this medal bar which has some rare medals on from the winners family. Unfortunately I only have the family name and no other information. I appreciate any help on following questions:

-Family name is Deubert, can this be verfied?

-How many men got the combination of PrMEZ1 and PrMEZ2 during the action in German South-West-Africa?

-Is there a list of the PrMEZ1 winners in SWA/German colonies?

-Is it possible to find out in which unit this guy has served in SWA?

Thanks for all help!

VERY interesting that you got that one, I didn't think the owner was selling it.

The owner found the items when he cleared out a house basement, he neither collects any kind of medals nor has any knowledge about his greatgreatuncle, so he decided he could use the money better than the medals.
