I'm not an expert, but usually when I do a bad job of it someone jumps in to correct me!
三重県員辯君(匕?) Mie-ken (prefecture) member of staff (the saji at the end makes it officer, I think) Mie-ken in ben kun
員辯町平吉 (member of ranked town?) Heikichi in ben machi heikichi
伊藤進 Susumo Ito
Or something like that. I'm pretty sure my characters are correct, but not sure if I'm interpreting that correctly! I'm sure someone else will jump in with more knowledge. You can also try at the Nihonto Message Board. They have many members well versed in how a Japanese officer would have identified themselves during the war.
