These caribou are very confusing (to me, at least). The yellow head on blue was unfortunately misidentified in Len Whittaker's STOPA as the golden brow deer of IFBU. But two examples featured here recently from a group associated with 166 (Newfoundland) Fd Regt RA in Italy. The same design in yellow on red features in Heraldry in War (p214) as "Newfoundland Units RA". A variation on a rectangle - red head on green- with subtitle NEWFOUNDLAND features in Charles Edwards' "Canadian Army Formation Signs 1939-1945 as Serial 143, p 37. There's also a helmet transfer - which I've only seen in BW photographs. Mike
