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.
