I have read this subject several months ago.
It is said in the discussion that Heydrich was wearing two different cuff titles.
The first one is Amtschef cuff title, and the other one is an additional SD-Hauptamt cuff title.

I'm not sure about that. The word on Heydrich's cuff title appears longer.

I think it ends 'ier' there's a dot above a letter.

The cufftitle appears to be the "Führerhauptquartier" that Heydrich would have worn in the early stages of the war as he was assigned to the FHQ for short period of time. The photo was taken in November 1939 right after the failed Munich Bomb attempt by Elser on the Fuhrer's life.
