air recognition Star NW Europe

Hi,
I am seeking wartime images of Daimler Scout Cars with air recognition stars. I have seen one image with an encircled star on an engine cover (with it pointing to the rear, of course). I know there was reluctance within the troops to apply U.S. stars to British vehicles, as it didn't stop US planes from shooting, and they do make rather nice aiming points. But to be historically correct...
Cheers,
Dave

Of the armoured car!

Hi James,
that is a nice shot of a Daimler armoured car; judging by the state of the engine cover I doubt whether there was even room for a star there.
Thanks,
Dave
