According to the website "The Flags of our Ancestors" The Baltic Cross flag is of questionable authenticity. It other words, it is a fantasy flag. Sadly this flag has some how gained legitimacy as a real artifact.

There is a single period photograph that is purported to show one of these flags in use. See below, above the head of the gentleman on the extreme right.
That said, the above example does indeed appear to be spurious. The 'Afrikakorps' ink stamp is the nail in the coffin.

Real vehicle identification examples do exist.

Okay, I dug a little deeper. According to another website, FOTW Flags of the world, German vehicle recognition flags came in two designs, the Swastika and the Balkenkreuz. HOWEVER, the Balkenkreuz was not widely distributed. So, I stand corrected.
