Yes, the British Saladin was used in the Mideast, but I assume it could have appeared in Europe in the 1960's. Unable to find any info though.

The Saladin was used throughout the 60s in British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) in armoured reconnaissance regiments and also provided the recce component of the armoured (Main Battle Tank equipped)regiments, but former Royal Armoured Corps members on this site will be able to give a more concise chapter and verse I'm sure.

Are there any BAOR decal sheets for the Saladin?

You can cobble together the crest from Accurate-Armour decal sheet DE115 or DE156. The rest you can cull from many of their other sheets.
