Width of BDM belts ?

[Sdkfz251]

Hi everyone,

is there a regulation on how wide the BDM belts had to be ?
Because I have two different: 2.9 centimeter and 3.9 centimeter.
Or maybe one of them belongs to a totally different organisation?

Thanks for help,
Chris

4cm

thanks, that is also what I thought. The wider belt has the slanted tip which is typical for BDM.

What cann the smaller belt be ?

Indeed. I have no idea what the smaller belt is.
