Need help with collar tab ID

Hi guys,

Do any of you have any idea what country/era these belong to? I am stumped.

Thanks,
Mo

Thanks, Ade! Are they WWI? pre-Anschluss? postwar?

This type was in use in the Austrian Imperial army, Austrian Army 1933-8. Then readopted in 1955-86. The stars look like plastic so I would place them in the post war period.
The rank is that of Master Sergeant.
