It’s the heavy tank battalion attached to Kampfgruppe Peiper.

These are the Tiger II of the 2. Kompanie.

There is a really interesting website devoted to the SS-Pz.Abt 501 during the Ardenne offensive – www.ss501panzer.com

I have built an approximate map of the SS-Pz.Abt 501 route starting from Tondorf till La Gleize:
