If you happened to find this in Norway then a very good chance it is good.
Looks original to me, I have a few stamped this way myself.
Purchased from a guy in poland many years ago thank you very much for your help
I have two EKM (2 and 4 Battery) of 11 Flak (Ersatz) Abteilung from Königsberg. They are stamped on both sides like yours with the unit info on top and the number below, and in the same font and digit type.
Kind regards
