Officer wear of enlisted Feldbluse?

Occasionally in photos one sees junior officers wearing enlisted-issue M36/40 etc. flat-collar tunics in the field. Query: under what circumstances, if any, was this authorized rather than simply tolerated?

Der Stahlhelm tunic

Stalhelmbund tunic which is a rare to find nowadays. That is a very good untouched condition tunic, which have just a couple matches head size mothholes.

M35 double decal Heeres steel helmet, early

Here is my Heers M 35 double decal ET 66, war time liner replaced, due of probably aluminum liner has been broken, as usually seen on the period battle worn helmets made in pre 1938 year, without side reinforcements on the liner. The 1940 year liner replaced instead of broken, the liner is also used on the ET type helmets. Chinstrap is 1942 dated. Probably this helmet will be soon gone from my collection due of better one will replace it

Help! Trying to ID collar tabs!!!

These are pics of my Girlfriend's Grandfather.
His name was Stevo Eiler.
The only info i have about him is that the Family lost touch with him at the end of the war.
Judging from the pics, It looks like he was in some form of the SS.
In the one photo the collar tabs look like Croatian SS runes???
The third pic is the back of the second pic.
Maybe someone here could enlarge them and see something i'm missing. He is the soldat on the left in the photos.
From what i can make out, he is wearing an SS belt buckle in at least 2 of the photos.
Thanks for any Help.
