Hello Inf Div 121,
The first ID tag might be:
Rü. Jn. X. Ia1 - Rüstung Inspektion X (Wehrkreis) Ia1 (Abteilung) - armor inspection of X military district, department Ia1
Hmmmm- those are tough; I'd agree that Stacez's suggestion is reasonable- I couldn't find it exactly in any reference but there were units such as 'Wehrwirtschaft-Inspektion VII' (and others in other Wehrkreise), so one for equipment specifically is logical. The other is more strange- there was an Infanterie-Regiment 270, and nothing else listed with that number that could fit, but the 'FR', clearly being part of the whole unit title (same font, marked at the same time- different from when the Kompanie number was put on, since it is different), but I don't see anything that makes sense in the description. 'FR' can mean such things as 'Front' and 'Führer-Reserve', but neither of those seems to work.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
I made mistake, I looked better and number was 210.
It is 2./ Feldrekruten Infanterie Regiment 210
