I came across these on a website. There is some debate on the authenticity of such carded pipes. Does anyone have any information on these, or are they fourth reich?

Hi, these are Bruyere Pfeifen, made for RAD in Africa. Wehrmacht had similar pipes.

Seems that, you can kink two of these packs in the middle, cause one side of the "RAD Abteilung 1/281 Wolfram von Eschenbach" writing is missing.
Does anyone know if this RAD group was ever in Africa?
They were deployed in the whole Reich. Maybe the pipes are also a gift or a donation of the RAD to the soldiers of Wehrmacht, cause the soldier on the picture looks like a DAK member.
I have googled a bit, it seems, that there is a series of these pipes. For soldies, sailors, seamen etc.

I have the army and Luftwaffe. I have seen the Kriegsmarine and FJ.
A lot of people say they are fake, some say pipes real....card fake.
This is the first DAK one I have seen, also the first marked on the back.
It seems there are two sizes, 4 or 6 pack.
I am still not fully convinced they are real, but not convinced they are fake either.
As far as I'm concerned these are fake.......
