Based on the low rollnumber I believe it is from Stammkompanie Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 475.

Nice erkennungsmarken, I like them.
I don't know if your German is good, but check out the link I have provided. You can find a lot of info on lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de
Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 475 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht
Yes I found that site. With some translation I still couldn't figure out the Norway connection. But the finder said he also found some Russian game artefacts on the same spot. And the unit was in Russia if I'm not wrong. Interesting
The unit in question is a replacement batallion wich provided replacement troops for several units. So the soldier wearing this Ekm could be send to a bunch of units, but he always kept the same Ekm giving to him when he joined the above mentioned batallion. It could well be he was transfered to a unit wich was stationed or deployed in Norway.
OK. Thanks. I didn't know that
