Aye, haven't been able to find anything that matches that. This could also be something that was improvised in the field.
Closest I've come is 2CER (Australian 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment) which use(d) big purple square with small red diamond inside.
Canadians seem to have used entirely different system (square with a shape on top).
So, I'm with Oberon in that it might be Australian.
