Yes, good suggestion.
As can be seen the carrier has Polish flag and female Polish name "Baśka". The Polish armoured trains had a series of the Universal Carries codenamed with the Polish female names as for example:
T63116 – "Jaga" (Armoured Train "G")
T63122 – "Hanka" (Armoured Train "G")
Next week I will try to check the "Baśka" and where was it come from.

The tankers in Valentine look Polish in fact (black beret with silver eagle) but I am unable to recognize the unit in a hundred percent. White badge (or a part of it) looks at this tank similarly to horse head, but maybe I am wrong. White horse head was a badge of 1. Pułk Ułanów Krechowieckich, or the 1st Krechowiecki Ulans Regiment.
But my Polish colleagues, good spotters, observe this forum so maybe they will help.
Best regards
