Would the police personnel from Vienna around the time of the Anchluss change sides?
Foe example, these officers here stayed under their new boss?
Can these 3 here then be identified then?
Or a list of such policemen from the time exist?

You should send this to the Austrian Resistance research center and ask them.
I will include the web site. They follow this sort of thing.
The persons jobs are a cabinet maker's assistant and bank clerk. None of them is in the police.

About us
The
Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW)
was founded in 1963 by former members of the Austrian Resistance, victims of NS-persecution, and committed scholars from the sciences and humanities. The centre's initiator and its scientific director until 1983 was Herbert Steiner, who had returned from exile in Great Britain. From the very beginning the centre had a nonpartisan and pluralist orientation: the Communist, Socialist, and Catholic-Conservative associations for the victims of Fascism, the Catholic Church, the Jewish community, representatives of the Roma and Sinti, and politicians sat on its executive board.
DÖW's permanent exhibition (photo: Walter Filip, Vienna) A landmark in the development of the centre was the establishment of the DÖW Foundation in 1983, which is supported by the Federal Government, the City of Vienna, and the DÖW Society, thus putting the centre on a sound financial footing. From its modest beginnings, when work was carried out mainly by idealistic victims of Fascism and later by a qualified younger staff, the centre has developed into an authoritative institution, respected in Austria and abroad. The focal points of the centre's broad range of tasks can be summarized as follows:
Resistance and persecution
Exile
Nazi crimes, in particular the Holocaust, concentration camps, and criminal medical policies
The justice system in the Nazi era and the prosecution of Nazi criminals in the post war era policies
Right-wing extremism since 1945, (neo-Nazi) Holocaust denial
Welfare service for victims of Nazism, restitution and compensation since 1945
The activity of the centre encompasses the following areas:
Collecting and archiving relevant source material and its scientific evaluation; publications.
Managing archive and library; advising or supervising students, pupils, journalists, and other visitors.
Managing the highly valuable Oral History-collection (2800 tapes from more than 1000 interviews) and the extensive databases created in recent years (Austrian victims of the Holocaust, political victims of Nazism, those persecuted by the Gestapo and the Nazi justice system, Austrian anti-Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, etc.).
Informing the younger generation and adults about the crimes of National Socialism by compiling teaching material for schools, organizing groups to visit the DÖW and its permanent exhibition, providing victims of Nazism with opportunities to talk in schools, offering courses at university, etc.
Updating the centre's homepage with details of events, the presentation of projects and their findings, book reviews, current news on the extreme right-wing scene; servicing the databases mentioned above.

The 3d document is a post Anschluss extension of the passports for the Reich. It is stamped by the Police president of Vienna, but none of these people lists their
jobs as police officials.
As Austria became a part of Germany, its police force was absorbed by the German police and the Austrian policemen simply became German policemen.
(Well, not all of them, obviously: those found to be politically unreliable, of Jewish descent or otherwise undesirable to the Nazi regime were quickly kicked out, as had been the case with the German police and civil service half a decade earlier.)
Thank you all for the replies.
I have send you a PM (to Friedrich).
