Good info, thanks Larry. I had always wondered why you see the guys with helmet markings on D-Day, but not others. I just figured it was a D-Day specific thing like the invasion (or "don't shoot at me, dummy!!) stripes on allied airplanes.
Here is one of Robert Capa's pictures of the landing. You can see the half circle marked on the soldier's helmet on the left.
