    ADF Unit insignia or marking on recent purchase.

    I just purchased this U435 Cargo at the AFM Minto auction.
    I'm wondering which unit or outfit the insignia is as imaged on the door. Can't decide if it's a goat or a bull...
    Anyone have a clue?

    From a guy serving in Bris in 2014
    Owned by 8/9 RAR regular infantry Battalions based in Brisbane, their mascot was a RAM, so it is a SHEEP not goat.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers, Mario

    The battalion lanyard is coloured slate grey and beech brown and these colours are used elsewhere in sporting uniforms and the like. The official battalion march is The Brown and Grey Lanyard but the unofficial march is Black Bear with a boisterous 'OY' inserted in the appropriate places.[1] The 8/9 RAR mascot is a stud merino ram officially named John Macarthur (currently John Macarthur VI), after the Australian wool pioneer, but known affectionately to the diggers as 'Stan the Ram

    Thanks mate. I'd be wanting to keep the insignia but she'll be getting a colour change sooner or later..ivory or off white I think some sort of easy serviceable MB colour.

    Noooo! Don't change the colour! Keep the DPC.

    How much did it set you back if you don't mind my asking?
