@Larry
The symbol indicates a motorcycle rifle company.
The St abbreviation stands for Stab (headquarters).
There were no companies of any sort attached directly to a regiment's headquarters.
Normally, vehicles belonging to a battalion or regiment headquarters had an echelon flag with a staff as their symbol.
But then, things were not always "normal" in the German WWII armed forces.
Neither the motorcycle rifle company nor its headquarters had telephone sections, only the signal unit of a motorcycle rifle battalion did. Between 1940 and 1943, signal elements of the battalion headquarters were consolidated into independent platoons and these had only one light telephone section 'c'. Furthermore, an independent signal platoon had its own symbol. I deduct that these two telephone wire vehicles (Sd.Kfz. 15/2) were part of the Signal Detachment of an motorcycle infantry battalion headquarters organized under KStN 1109 dated 01.10.1937, which had two light telephone sections 'c'.
Be interesting to know when this photograph was taken.
