Really like the RAC one. Wonder if they are from Parade Ground marker posts rather than vehicles ?

Hi, thanks for responses but I was curious as to what the cog wheel and star/ sun burst could represent, the other pennant is presumably REME so I assume they are both REME related, thanks again, Mike

The blue yellow red blue pennon belongs to the 15th/19th Hussars.
Its illustrated on the rear dust cover of the Encyclopedia of the British Army 3rd edition tied to a tank antenna.

Hello
The RAC flag is from the RAC Sales team, part of the ATDU at Bovington.
Here's the badge worn on the sleeve of the sales team in the 90's.
Cheers
Chris

Hi, again thank you for all the replies. Would the 15/19th have anything to do with the sales team? That would tie them all together or maybe that's too easy. Thanks again and best wishes for the New Year, Mike

Found a photo of a plaque with the emblem and also a 'variation' used on official documentation.

ATDU and the Sales team were mixed H/Cav, RAC Regiments plus RE contingent and REME, so multi badged.
They may at some point had the pennants representing all the RAC Regiments for some reason I don't know.
