Yup, Republican Guard for sure. Normally it is just a red triangle, but there are variations (probably for specific units).

I saw specific mention on Global Security's website that there is a red/black combo like yours, but they did not know what it represented. I've seen a number of other variations too, which isn't surprising. Units like to personalize stuff.

James as before, I am convinced this lid is RG, but course this area is a grey one as it were.

Great news James, it's good to get some confirmation of this "mystery" Iraqi lid
