For the Military experts, My 710K had a square (unit identifier type) stick on badge on the front right panel when I aquired it. The sticker was white and on it was a 'Leaping Black Boar' (tusks and all).
Does anyone know what unit this signified? The Pinzgauer was sprayed all over matt black when I aquired it, under the sticker was matt black, were Radio Vans sometimes painted Matt black, I know some British Army Landrover 101 Radio Vans were all over Matt Black especially in the 'electronic warfare' role.

Leaping Boar Badge
Aiming to introduce UK Politicians to Piano wire and Lamposts!
Here is what I could dig up from Google:
http://coleraine-battery.tripod.com/page19084.htm
The page is titled "The Coleraine Battery - France and Belgium", and has this quote about the badge, "the 30 Corps, the leaping Black Boar on a white background".
Searching on that might lead you to even more info.

Wow!!! thanks loyalp, so perhaps this badge was put on by a previous UK owner, (one since leaving military service) Funny thing is the leaping boar was about the same as the one you found, but more upright and its leap was forwards and upwards. Tusks are the same.
