At the same surplus yard were about 50 or so of these panels. Some are in red, some are in yellow. I assume they have something to do with sigs. Any ideas? I believe they are post war american.

Looks like I was able to ID the signal panels through a google search (AL-140-B). They are allied signal panels, and were used to either ID friendly vehicles or positions to aircraft, or else were used to mark landing areas for airborne troops. They could be wartime, or postwar. I'll have to fold one completely out and look for dates.

The tall one is for a Sherman tank and likely other uses too.

Thanks. I went through the Canadian manual of installations for the WS dated 1944, and this mount was not shown. The installations shown were all the typical Cdn...it did not include the Sherman.
Guess I gotta buy a Sherman now.

Ron, the Grizzley is listed in that manual, not used on that?.

QUOTE] The cases are definitely not WW2 pattern... so am sure the panels are not as well... what is the material of the panels - is this a rubberised canvas, and how red/yellow are they? Cheers Tim

I was able to google the panels via the part numbers on the case. They came in a few different colours and were used for recognition by friendlies in the air. They could be on vehicles, but were also used for drop zone indication. I saw red and yellow at the store, but I think there was another colour there as well.
Here is a lonk to more info on the panels: http://www.airborne101st.com/pathfinders.html
