It has potential to be fine but that photo makes it hard to analyze. Can you post another without the stripes?

Welcome to the forum!

This would be the unit if it is a good disk: Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 513 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht

Yes, Stamm kompanie Grenadier Ersatz Btl 513, this dates the tag to after 1942 when the unit was renamed. Looks good for me.
