Hi guys, could you help me with this EKM and its abbreviations?

Thanks a lot!

Hi there.

5./Schützen Ersatz Kompanie II 462

I would say the II indicates 2nd Battalion.

I believe it was part of this -
Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 462 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht

I found this, an explanation of why the Schützen doesn’t appear in the above organisation -
ID Tag question: 2. / Schtz. E. Kp. 466 - Feldgrau.net

Abbreviations-

Kind regards,

Will
