I hope this helps ....

I asked my dad if he knew what the Vietnamese translation was and he believes it is "Dirty Thirty". However he remebers they made a spare tire cover with the insignia and every time they went into Saigon with the jeep they would get "snickers" from the Vietnames as they went by.

He wasn't sure if this was the look of the patch or "BA MUOI LAM"
