Could it be a ram like on the door of mine? Which is 8/9 RARs 'stan' mascot, also based at enoggera where mine spent its entire service life

I have seen a bull before, from memory a buffalo was used on some NT? units for a time as well.

Tagging is another aspect to this, not unusual for a unit to "tag" a vehicle from another unit during exercises, shenanigans etc.  RAAF does it a bit with vinyl red rats on foreign aircraft, even stealthy ones much to the chagrin of the US soldiers.
