"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
I believe its an Ersatz unit disc.
The LAH stamp is very similar to my LAH field unit example

I don't see anything fishy about it myself- it might be worth confirming if there was a 5. Ersatz Kompanie, but I expect there was. And you're right- the lettering sure appears to either be the same or very, very similar; the numbers are not, but they're certainly a realistic Erkennungsmarke font.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
Is it coming from a POW camp?
Thank you I appreciate your help Matt... as always !

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks Paul!

All of these discs was found in the POW camps or the areas where the war was ended, seems soldiers just drop/brake them, may be as act to never return to the trench hell
