Chalk writing on tank

[Thomas W]

Can anyone identify the German unit taking credit for knocking out this French Schneider tank?

Thomas, that is a false claim on a Schneider tank that was originally destroyed by the Bavarian Nahkampf Batterie 218 on April 16, 1917.

It reads: Im Nahkampf erledigt 4./54 am 16/4. 17

But what's the unit making the false claim? It says "4./54," which would mean the 4th Company of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 54, right?

But at the bottom its says "2. MGK 19."

I believe so.
