K.U.K. WW1 collar tabs - anyone able to help define what branch of Austro-Hungarian Armee they come from?

[FRITZEL]

Hallo Gents,

Happy Holidays to all. 
Recently I came a cross a pair of K.U.K Armee WW1 collar tabs. Just wonder if there’s anyone who will be willing to help identify what they represent or come from? Thanks in advance for your help and time. 
Regards,

It´s an "Bezirksinspektor" of the Austrian federal police after 1945. This insignia were in use until the end of the 1990ties.

A kind of NCO rank.
