Japanese Grenade Launcher Manual--Request Help With Translation

[hftiii]

Hello everyone,

I believe that this is a manual for the Type 89 but am not sure. I'm hoping someone would be willing to translate the covers for me. I believe that it may have the owners name and regiment. I would appreciate any help or comments. Thank you.

Hey Nick and Guy, any help possible with this as to a name or unit? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you Guy!

Imo, maybe a little lower with the regt. number, something like 33rd Inf. Regiment, 9th company.

Thanks Tom. I will do some research and see if I can find some information on this regiment.

Cool item. First time I've seen one.

It is a neat manual. I believe there is a "shrunk" black covered pocket version as well that pops up once in a while.
