John,

I don't have any of the TB-SIG-E 11's but that's just the prefix. As with 
normal TM 11's and TB-SIG 11's, the "11" would be followed by a hyphen and 
three or four digits.   Probably three.  And probably beginning at -200 like 
the TM 11's did. Others are TM-E 11 and TM-E 30.  I have TM-E 30-351. 
Handbook of German Forces. Another one that I have is TM E 11-227, German Signal 
Communication Equipment, which is analogous to the US TM 11-227.  There was 
also a German and a Japanese analog to TM 11-487, but I can't locate my copies 
at the moment.  Note that sometimes the hyphen between the "TM" or the 
"TB-SIG" and the "11" was present and sometimes there was a space.
