Hello Hans,
I am afraid that I will have to disagree with you regarding where KK markings can be found, they are very often also painted on the side locker boxes, for example the markings I described in the note above were on both locker boxes (for Panzer Nacht Abt 92 of the 20th Pz Div).
The UK Bovingtom Tank Museums's KK is from the Ramke FJ Rgt in North Africa, and its markings are on both locker boxes.
It is after all the biggest, flatest area on a KK and is therefore useful for painting on.
cheers PAUL

Hello Hans, many years ago I saw an original KK body for sale, it also had two almost identcal tactical and divisional insignia painted one on top of the other. The reason on this case was the first set of insignia was painted on the original KK colour of dunkelgrau and then when the KK was repainted dunkelgelb, of course all the insignia had to be added again.

Hi Hans,
Ok, definitely a diagonal, but put it down as a slight variation to the standard artillery sign, for sure not 19th Pz, never near Norway, but also it would be very unusual to have a mixture of a tactical sign and a divisional sign together.

Hi,
this is definitely a motorised artillery tactical sign, the line between the two small vertical lines is almost sure to be horizontal, a diagonal line makes no sense.
Its been painted twice, first in yellow and second time in white, the two signs look almost identical, maybe it happened when the Kettenkrad was repainted at some time.

Hi Roberto,
This company is known to have made bodies for BMW lEpkw field cars, but this date of 1936 is too early for them, so its most likely for a Reichwehr Kubelwagen and probably a BMW manufactured version.
