Help ID'ing three LAH Officers

[alan]

Since I had such great luck the last time I tried, I'll try to get three LAH officers identified.
I have a small gruop of photographs that seem to be of the LAH SS PZ NA Abt. in the anti-partizan action in Istria in September/ October 1943. The main subject seems to be a Hauptsturmfuher and I do not think that he is Eugen Metz.
Ithink that this narrows it down toAdolf Petersen or Ernst Hermans

I think that we can assume that these two officers would belonh to Hsf. Ernst Herman's fern sprech kompanie or Hsf. Adolf Petersen's le. Nachr. Kol.

If it is of any help, all the photos feature Skoda scout cars. I will attach the one photo I found of Hsf. Metz and his adj. Usf. Rolf Uibelhack, just in case you can see a resemblence. The photo is from Rudolf Lehman's Leibstandarte im Bild.
