I always would use caution and much skepticism if there are not other period examples of said headgear being used/worn. With that said there are possibilities of "field modifications" that would go against the norm, but without provenance and other valid forms of proof I would be very cautious..
Too many things raise suspicions, the buttons, the smudged ink stamping, the polizei insignia.... Each item should be carefully scrutinized and examined...
And I know it is not a showstopper but most of the field caps I have seen have the tri-color cockade above the eagle insignia as well....Just saying...
I am assuming that this is supposed to be Civil Protect Police? I dont have my Police Reference Books handy at the moment..

Smitty,
Your caution and skepticism is well earned and appreciated thru your real life studies of this wonderful world of collecting. I welcome and thank you for this timely post. I will certainly not jump onto this item, but will either not buy or await any deeper referenced info you may be able to gleen.
Thank you,
Mike
