Oo! Oo! This one I can answer (mostly).  :-)

According to my now-currently-misplaced Bradley
Fighting Vehicles book, those are company markings:
A Company, B Company, C Company, D Company. The
inverted (upward-pointing) "V" is for A Company.
The regularly down-pointed "V" is for C Company.
I can't remember which ways D and B Companies are
supposed to point. I want to say B Company points
to the right and D to the left, but...
