>panzer man, on foot with webbing
I believe he's Hans-Albin Freiherr von Reitzenstein, an SS-Obersturmbannführer who killed himself when it was suggested he might be implicated in the rape of a hiwi helferin. The webbing is probably for a sharpshooter's rifle g41/g43 I'd guess. I know Werner Wolff liked to run around with an svt-40 despite being an Obersturmführer.
>over a standard tunic (?)
Officers of Panzer units often wore both Panzer Wraps and Feldblusen (look at photos of Joachim Peiper to see examples of this) and wearing a camo uniform over field-greys became very common either when smocks were unavailable or the individual desired to be a special snowflake. The SS was particularly bad about this, with officers appearing to consider their dilettante interest in fashion design more important than inconsequential things like tactics or low casualty rates. And I don't blame them.
>tailor made oak panzer tunic (alright)
I'm not sold on it being tailor-made to be honest, as small numbers of camouflaged panzer suits were made from left-over fabric in whatever pattern they had laying around when dot-44 was being phased in as the universal pattern. But officers were well-known for having unit tailors sew them jaunty camo uniforms when they became fashionable.
>weird ass pants (?)
Its just panzer trousers in the same camp pattern as the wrap.

Pic related is a bit unusual however, because it has a Heer panzer-man wearing a full blurred edge panzer suit. Which is bizarre because the SS was very protective of their camo patterns (to the point of copyrighting them)
so he either bartered or "found" enough fabric to have one made for him/a suit someone was issued. The only time I can think of when a non-SS unit got their hands on a large number of SS camo pieces was when the Hermann Göring Division made a trade with the newly formed 500th SS Parachute Battalion for their knochensacks.
