Among my photo collection I have a few photos of these 'Tac' signs painted on the doors of Australian Army Vehicles similar to the photo from the AWM below which was taken in Greece during 1941.

It always appears to be on vehicles overseas working with British forces and I believe it is a unit sign and not what is commonly called a Tac sign. It is also during these campaigns that the A.I.F. was more normally painted in front of the vehicle ARN as well so this would fit to the 'W5' painted on the door in the photos above.

Keith the small 'S' on your vehicle is not a unit sign but did stand for Radio Suppression.

Hope this Helps
