Very strange marking, indeed. Those were never used by RAF German colours roundel, perhaps?

Further, that roundel is not in the correct proportions to have been painted by an RAF man, perhaps the Germans were using it as an "enemy vehicle" for exercise purposes.

The same vehicle (or similar? :roll: ) from the right, enjoy:

Yup,

A worse copy of that photo appears on the previous page. Wonder if the cannon was permanently trained aft.

The troops being Luftwaffe I am guessing improvised airfield defense. Note the beute motorcycle with water cooled mg.
