    It is a EKM from 1. Kompanie Turkestanisches Bau-bataillon 402.

    I have found some other examples of this Bataillon on a Russian website. To my knowledge it is not uncommon that these Ost units received EKM as the one in the OP's post.

    Is it common to re-use POW tags?

    I have not seen any other units re-purposed this way.
