Hi, Nacho
This well know picture of Schwimmwagen belongs to 9.SS of course !
Your source is probably "Hohenstauffen. 9.SS - HEIMDAL"
1...Find here a vehicle captured by British or canadian troop in Rocquancourt (Normandy - goodwood sector) the 11th august 1944 - internet source
2...Other captured with "bull?" pennants marking - internet source

The "bull" may be the divisional insignia from the 11th Armoured Division
commander in Normandy : Major General George Philip Bradley "Pip" ROBERTS I think
• 29th Armoured Brigade
o 23rd Hussars
o 3rd Royal Tank Regiment
o 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry
o 8th Battalion The Rifle Brigade
• 159th Infantry Brigade
o 4th Battalion King’s Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI)
o 3rd Monmouthshire Regiment (Mons)
o 1st Battalion Herefordshire Regiment
• Armored regiment
o 2nd Northampshire Yeomanry
• Divisional Troops
o Divisional Artillery
o Divisional Engineers
o 2nd MG Company Royal Northumberland Fusiliers
Regards,
David
