It pays to keep in mind that sign painting was a skill taught to many painters until at least the 1950s/60s or so, since pretty much every sign on a shop, including on the windows, would have been hand-painted. It would not have been especially rare to find a trained sign painter in any given military unit in the Second World War, I would think, and I would bet that anyone with that skill would be quickly given the job of applying markings to vehicles.

This one clearly had a good sense of humour as well.

Gotta love his supply cabinet....a very 'artistic' use of a vehicle on its side.

In the British sitcom "Last of the Summer Wine", the character Foggy Dewhurst was a corporal sign writer in Normandy..
