SFOR or IFOR? Stabilization Force was a fighting element (such as Canada's was) and Implementation Force was an occupying force.

The sequence of bases is fuzzy, but Velika Kladusa / Coralici / Bihac / Zgon / Bosanski Petrovac / Drvar / (some little shithole further west towards the Croat border ...) / Tomaslavgrad / Glamoc etc. If yours has a VK artifact, it is more likely an IFOR vehicle. Yes there were equipment rotations, but I believe almost everything stayed in place with a new stencil.

Getting back to the original origins, I would concur that these trailers and Iltises are ex Para school vehicles. They look very beat up, and would have finally outlived their usefulness as training aids.
