		In 1939, the Polish Army was in the process of converting a number of its cavalry brigades to motorized brigades.
		The cavalry regiments (mostly lancers) were to become motorized rifle regiments, the horse artillery was to be motorized, and the brigade was also to contain a tank battalion, a motorized reconnaissance battalion and a motorized antitank battalion.
		Given the Polish Army's strong cavalry tradition, it is plausible that the recon- and anti-tank battalions flew pennons on their vehicles, but I don't know that for a fact.
