Hello to all :D; a little query.............................

Marking in the German tanks - Poland 1939.

AFAIK during this campaign, the German tanks carried the Balkan cross in white, but I've seen some pictures showing the Balkan cross in black and white like the 1940's style as early as the beginning of the Polish campaign (see below). I think that the Pz Abt 33 within the 4. Le Div carried that marking. What do you think about?............

Same column later/after the campaign; the white cross was erased in the Panzerbefehlwagen I and in the other tanks the cross is notoriously more stylized.............................................
