Thanks for your directions.

I went and did a little more sanding around the 102 and the background of the TAC is black for sure behind the number. But after reading your post something else has made a bit more sence. If you look at the third picture above, the Kiwi bird was on white bird on a white background, and I wondered how this may have worked, also in the pic you can see black coming through on the neck/leg etc. I sanded this back slowly today and it gave way to more black. So may explain the white background. This would put it into the 2 NZEF-IP.

I know you state the background for the dental unit was dark green, but have you any idea if any of the other units had a black background in the list you supplied?

Was there any other place the NZ military put an ARN or something? Did the RN over 68002 mean anything to you? You will notice more letering above the letter R in teh first picture.....in black.....VI-0.....?
