Wasn't the left one reserved for rank insignia, like in all SS-units?

"Mirrored" TK tabs were used in 1940 and authorization for wear was rescinded late that year. They were worn by some until the end of the war. I don't recall seeing any worn on the black panzer uniform.

Is there any chance you are confusing this with Army Panzer Troops who do wear Mirrored Skulls?

never saw any photo of ss tank crew from totenkopf wearing mirror skulls
i was asking if this combination (black tankist uniform + mirrored SS Skuls (ss wore different ones than Heer) was used/is there photographic evidence of usage

An example of SS-Totenkopf-Aufklärung ( Golden Yellow Waffenfarbe ), with double Totenkopf collar patches.

Your upper picture's tankers are from Wehrmacht. Their eagles are on the right breast.hoot72 wrote:You mean't something like these totenkopf skull logos on the SS tanker uniforms and collar tabs\?
