What is this imperial holster stamp?:

M.d.R
M.G.R.2R.158

Maybe bottom is machine gun for 2nd reserve regiment. Weapon 158

Top marking is not clear enough for me to make out. The lower marking appears to be "M.G.K.2.R.158" which could be M.G. company, 2nd Regiment, weapon 158 or it could be M.G.(company)2. Regiment 158. The Bekleidungsamt number should answer which it is.

If the written marking is tied to the BAXI, it might be 32nd Infantry Regiment (2nd Thureringenisches) Regiment. Seems far fetched.

Well, I found the 158 IR was the Lorraine Infantry Regiment based in Paderborn, but it was part of Army Corps VII/Munster. The maker mark shows Oldenburg, which is just north of Munster. Would the VII AC conflict with the BA XI mark?
