Nice- it seems that unit only existed for a year: from 9.40 to 9.41, when it became SS-Ersatz-Bataillon Nord.

Nice tag mate.
What does the "T" stand for?

Hi Ade. Does this mean Totenkopf division or is it another unit?

The Totenkopfverband were the original early Totenkopf units that were formed, they later were included in the formation of the Totenkopf Divison as the Waffen SS was organised and expanded also other units such as SS Nord were originally made up from SS TV units which is why so many TK Dog tags are found in Karelia, very similar to the way the early SS VT units went on to become the Das Reich Divison of the Waffen SS.

In this case it's technically Totenkopf-Standarte; the listing for the unit reads:

SS-Ersatz-Bataillon (A)

* 6.9.1940 in Goslar als Ersatz-Bataillon für alle im Reeresverband eingesetzten SS-T (Totenkopf)-
Standarten; wurde September 1941: SS-Ersatz-Bataillon Nord in Weblaund.
