I'm planning on building a M4 Sherman in Tunisia, and I was wondering about the yellow insignia. I know that the small rectangle and circle helped identify it, but what did they actually mean?

The bar signified company and the circles stood for platoon.

Can you give me a way to tell what company and platoon they were in?

The full bar is A Co.
The bar split in two is B Co.
The bar split in 3 is C Co.
One ball is 1st platoon
Two balls are 2nd platoon.
Three balls are 3rd platoon.
