Vehicle insignia and camo type

If you doing a 2 RSF carrier, then it should have a tac sign of a white 67 on a brown background, as 2RSF were senior Battalion in the junior brigade of 5th Div.



Infantry Division Vehicle Markings

The 5th Div markings on vehicles were a white Y on a black circle.
See photos of 2 Wilts vehicles on this thread on post # 51.

I've posted images on the forum somewhere.
I'll come back & edit in a link.

 

also i take it that number would be on one fender and the 5th div "Y" on the other.
Yup that's right.
what colour cammo
For a Paiforce vehicle ??
Dunno, most likely sand, desert yellow whatever it called.

 

I'm not sure when the new type Vehicle markings came into use.
The ones I gave link to.
Here are some Carriers of 5 Recce with the Y on the body taken in 1941



Then a couple of pics of other 5th Div carriers in 1943 in Sicily,
one from 2 Wilts.
See the Y and the 57 on track guards.
