Waltz, this is what i think it all means:


The shield with the eye in it denotes 4th Guards Infantry Brigade and probably was based at its HQ, Hubbelrath, British Army On the Rhine (BAOR)
Not too sure where that would of been painted, possibly on the nose and the rear.

The circular mark on the door would appear to denote 3rd sub unit, or "C" Troop.

The squares on the back, possibly 17= Field sqn Royal Engineers against a blue background, the 169= Corps Engr Regt.

The quadrant in a circle marking on the bottom left of the door looks like a 4th Division marking.

I dont know what state the paint was in on the pig when you got it, but it looks as if a previous owner has recorded what was found on it, you have two totally different users, The Brigade of Guards, and the Royal Engineers.

The link below is for BAOR locations, pointing towards the Guards HQ, its a great website with loads of info, it takes a bit of working around to find what you are after, but is very useful.
