could it be the manufacturer was just putting thier approved tag,on any arm bands they made? inother words they made both types of armbands,but teh only tags they had were rzm-SS.

actually that pic is too blurry to tell for sure,IMO

You got a point here!
I also collect HJ items ( some years ago only HJ ) but I know there are many HJ sidecaps arround with BDM labels. It has been discussed and it came out that these caps are used as you noticed.

Maybe the same as these armbands?

I seriously doubt that the SS RZM tag is put in error on these kampfbinde. There are too many examples that exist with the cloth tag(which takes deliberate effort to sew to the band)and the standard paper tag. The SS was too powerful an organization to allow this type of error.
