Mike, the organisation of such a unit, like all units, was subject to constant change. When official changes were ordered, a new KstN scedule was made. But between official KstN and actual organisation of most of the units was a wide range of varieties, especially in 1944/45, because by that time the Germans had huge problems with deliveries of weapons, vehicles, etc., to meet the requirements.
Can you be more specific as for which Stabskompanie at which time in the war you are looking for?
Cheers,
Timo

I have never heard that a Panzer Grenadier Battaillon had a Stabskompanie. As far as I know it had only the Battaillonsstab (Battaillon Staff) and from 44`on a Versorgungs Kompanie (Supply Company).
But there was a Stabskompanie fpr the Panzer Grenadier Regiment. It contained (in 1944) a Nachrichtenzug (as stated above) and a Kradmelderzug (Motorcycle Messenger Platoon). In 1943 there were also a Panezrjägerzug (3 x 75mm Pak) and a Flammenwerferzug (6 x Plame-Thrower).
My source is the book from Thomas L. Jentz - Die deusche Panzertruppe Teil 2 - 1943-45
P.S. I think the Organisation of the Panzer Divisions in the book applies only for Army Units, so the SS Units may well have looked differently.
Hope this helps

Re: Stabskompanie
Timo
Thanks for the info
I always thought that the Panzergrenadier Regimenter in the Panzerdivisionen (Heer) ahd only 2 Battaillons whilst the Regiments of the Panzer Grenadier Divisionen had 3.
