Hm? 

A "Maltese cross" usually means the one used by the Knights of St. John
(still used by St. John's Ambulance) - you know, the one where each arm
tapers inward to a point in the center, and the outer end of the arm is
split into two points. It was used by the Germans in WWI, but AFAIK not
after that (not as vehicle markings anyway; possibly for medals
though).

Karl?
