Correct Paul....The allied star wasn't standard until years later, so a star would definately look out of place on your 12cab.

I haven't heard of the term "wonky" regarding the star, but I think we are all talking about the same thing....the star painted at a slight angle (?). There is a thread here on MLU on this crooked/angled/wonky star which shows the star also displayed at an angle in at least one official painting regulation.

edit: Hanno....I guess you weren't watching the football match....or did you quit before the penalties? ;-)
