Found behind a seat. There is a little blue clear window.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Blue window... some sort of convoy light?
Not familiar with Austrian Ks at all, so this is just an uneducated guess...

It is less than a couple of inches across. Appears to be a cover of some kind. I have no idea.

My guess is that it is some sort of blackout cover for a white light, but possibly not on the pinz; I think perhaps it could have came off the radio equipment. That's my guess anyhow, I've never seen any like it in photos or anywhere else on any Pinz, that's what makes me think maybe it came off some other piece of equipment they may have carried in the Pinz.

In Swiss Ks, there used to be covers to blackout the rear compartment's windows so the radio operators could work at night without revealing the truck's position. As a consequence, there was no need for covers for the radio equipment itself or the work lights... but that's the Swiss and yours is Austrian.

It looks like a cover to Swiss flashlight- maybe the Austrian ones had a blue window on them?
