Do you remember where the ex was that year? I checked the VMOs for this truck, and for some reason they only start in May of 89, at which time this truck was temp issued to Wainwright from a militia holding.

Attached is the decal in question. Hopefully someone has a photo of a similar decal...seems like they went to a lot of work for just one ex. I note the decal is not quite the normal service battalion flag, where the yellow would be much narrower. And I found reference to a 25 svc bn out of Toronto, so it's possible that is who this decal was for. The bottom white band is also puzzling. Perhaps it was originally the faint blue of the EME (now RCEME again) flag. Just as possible the EME elements of the 125 Service Bn had decals made up, but again, it seems like a lot of effort for a very temporary unit when a couple cans of spray paint and some masking tape would have achieved the same thing.
