Context
USK#118.05 The attribution by USK is clearly correct, but the list in KM is confusing. It is KM type A, as in the illustration of type KM#176 (correct date; but without the outer border around the toughra), whereas their description for KM#179 (correct date) states type E, which does not include the toughra. Further research essential! Possibly KM#174 (but unlisted date; or error in reading date in the pictures here) Very similar to 20 Para KM#166
