Hello,
I cannot comment the messkit itself as photos are too small, but the inner plate is for sure postwar Bundeswehr. It's too tall and has the horizontal slit....
Check my sticky thread about TR german military messkits and you'll see how an original late war inner plate looks like.
Thanks

Thanks JPhilip I was just there and you are right there is quite a difference in the height as well as the vertical slit.
