HI Jos

Pretty sure that should be a M120.

As the germans destroyed a lot of their archives before the surrender, it was common practice in Norway that they were set to reconstruct a lot of information - including maps of batteries, camps etc - before they were returned home to germany quite some time after the war ended (was this done elsewhere?).

Here's a couple of examples of maps made by the germans for the allies after the war:
