Insignia: The Erbsentarn uniforms had sleeve eagles sewn on at the factory. These can be zig-zag or straight stitched, and both "Bevo" and embroidered eagles are used. Tan "tropical" eagles are not uncommon. As for additional insignia, in typical SS fashion, anything goes. Period photos exist showing troops wearing nothing other than the eagle while others added shoulderboards, collar tabs, cuff titles and awards. If there were regulations regarding insignia, they were ignored.
