That yellow circle on the PzII hull is an addition by the Rangers I guess? I wonder it's significance.

Someone on missing lynx suggested it's an 18th Infantry Regiment marking with the 1st ID, but that doesn't seem to make sense either.
Either huh?http://armorfortheages.com/MilitaryVehicles/PzKpfwII/PzKpfwII.htmlThis has been also mentioned in few books and booklets on the topic (Panzerwrecks or such), I'll see what I can find.
An appropriate streamer, emblem, or guidon band, of such form and design as may be determined by the Secretary of War, may be displayed by the organization, unit, detachment, or installation described above, to which such citation is issued.
Would be interested to read more documentation of where that emblem/ insignia comes from.
