Some questions for general information:
What does the 'MTW' stand for? How are these companies part of larger formations (battalions, brigades, etc)? I suspect they are a heavy inf AT cie for 'Grenadier' battallions or brigades. Can anyone shed some light on that for me? Thanks,

MTW = Mannschaftstransportwagen M113
In the 80s-90s (Heeresstruktur 4) every PzGrenBtl was structured roughly the following way:
-1st Coy "Staff and Logistics"
-2-3rd Coy "SPz Marder" capable of mounted and dismounted combat
-4rd Coy "MTW M113" capable of dismounted combat only
-5th Coy "PzMrs Coy" Mortar on M113, fire support coy
