I thought that the 'invasion' star (star with circle) was also to identify
vehicles that were participating in the invasion as opposed to those staying
behind.

I believe they were also used for the Italian invasion. The yellow chem
detectors supposedly did not work.

PS. The welded sherman tanks had a star over the ammo storage area and was a
nice aiming point. The US welded a steel plate over it then repainted the
star...
