ONCE again I have a problem with content of the book as in this case the strap already carries the rank of HJ STREIFENDIENST so am thinking the cord has a different meaning in this case Darin

Not sure what you mean by the rank of Striefendienst Paul, are you refering to the color of the lettering and piping?
Edit, you should as Ron Wienand about the cording on the strap, he's very good with NPEA items.
