Default Vehicle insignia

Hello
Bit of a long shot here and I'm not sure which forum to put this in, but let's try. I've recently bought an ex Army Morris Traveller and would love to be able to recreate the badges and insignia it would have worn in service.
It's original posting in 1970 was to Admin unit Fremington RCT followed in 1973 by a posting to the School of Artillery Larkhill REME wing finally being struck off charge in 1975.
I know the badges were applied to the front quarters either on plates or directly on the bonnet. If anyone has any pictures or drawings of the badges I would be very grateful.
Thank you
Bill.

I think the "tac" signs would have been the War Office one on the right front wingg and on the left would have been the REME sign which I would imagine was equal depth bands of (from the top) White, Blue, Yellow and Red wit "School of Artilly " or "Sch of Arty" in black letters on the left wing.

Thanks for that, I don't like to come across as stupid but as ex RAF the Army signs are a complete mystery to me. Do you have pics or drawings of the signs you have suggested?
