              were several types of marker panels used. You'll find the nomenclature 
              references under: AP-30AP-50 (with progressive letters)
 CS-18 was the spec for 
                the OD carrying case AL-141 (w/sub sets) 
                was one indicator for the panel itself. The modern Pathfinders 
                utilize a similar marker panel, but it is narrower in width and 
                significantly shorter in length. The nomenclature is VS-17.

                  | Above: Picture 
                    is of 8 Cases, CS-150, which contained two panels of the same 
                    color, matching the R or Y marked on the panel (R being Red 
                    (this was actually pink in hue), Y being Yellow (this was 
                    actually actually orange in hue)). There WAS NOT supposed 
                    to be one panel of each color in the bag (the complete set 
                    is called AP-50). These are the ones used at D-Day by the 
                    Pathfinder teams. |

                    Picture is two of the panels themselves. Perodically they 
                    come with tie-straps and a wooden pole to keep the shape, 
                    but you also see just the panels - one pink, one orange. |

                    Picture of 3 of the later-war AL-140B panel sets, which contained 
                    one panel (sewn at one end to the outer bag/roll), in the 
                    colour specified on the bag (R or Y). These were not used 
                    in D-Day. |     |
