Did the battalion emblem get painted over Zimmerit or did the they Zimmerit around the emblem? I have a couple photos, but its hard to see.

Thanks Carlos,
It does look like it was painted over the Zimmerit, but it doesn't look like it has the Zimmerit texture, so maybe they smoothed out the texture on the Zimmerit before painting the insignia.

Have a good one!!
