The story with the Rebbe Maharash is printed in Sipurei Chassidim, with a different punchline: the Sar Sholom went through the crowd to find the Rebbe Maharash (dressed as a merchant) and they said Rebbe–he’s just a merchant. The Sar Sholom replied “yes, and his s’choira is the best”.

The story with the Rebbe in Berlin is on a JEM interview, as mentioned here.

Rabbi Paltiel says the story often with more details
Iirc, The gabbai referred to the rebbe as “the young (maybe “new”, I don’t remember) rebbe from America, and the belzer rebbe said something to the effect that he is greater than them all

The way I heard it: א נייע מאדערנער רבי האט אייך געשיקט א בריוו [ with a derogatory stress on new [or young?] and modern. But I too don’t have a serious source rather מפי השמועה as most of these type of stories go. Take it or leave it. [there seems to be this trend of a group of fellows every time a good anecdote surfaces they make it their job to discredit or challenge it..]

In reply to Previously unknown?.

this story has been said over several different times in several different places (sometimes quoted that there was a third name mentioned?).
however, I have never found a proper source to this story and find it very hard to believe, this is a very strong statement and would need to find a reliable source to it (there was a discussion on the “Peninim” WhatsApp chat on this story a while back, though I don’t remember the conclusion).

This story is very well known.

But there is a story though not as well known, that once by Yechidus someone by mistake gave a random paper to the Rebbe instead of his Tzetel, and when the Rebbe was answering the tzetel he said this is a very hard tzetel to read only someone like the Shver and Reb Ahron of belz could read such a tzetel.

its a pretty famous story.
the belzer rebbe said גיב אכטונג ווי דו רעדסט, דו שפילסט מיט פייער.
