    Just guessing at some of them
    "PZ" = panzer
    "MOT" = motorized
    "ABT"= Abteilung
    from Jug's post "ABW" propably indicates that anit so "PZ ABW" would more literally be anti armor(panzer).

    *** edit for ***
    This may be what you are looking for:

    it even has Pz.Abw.Abt = panzerabwehrabtailung = antitank battalin
