Most of the markings seem OK, although some are in the wrong places. For example, the yellow bridge capacity marking was only on the front. The brigade marking (square with the number) was on the left side, both when viewed from the front and rear. Similarly, the division marking was on the right side. The marking of two different divisions on one tank is also incorrect. The rhino designated the 1st Armoured Division, and the desert rat designated the 7th Armoured Division. So you have to decide one or the other ;)
