Going to start Japanese LCU insignia.
Some other volunteer can start the airgroups.[;)]

Standard battle flag, national ensign, or unit motto?
Don't seem to be any patches, per se.

What do the Japanese players want to see on the LCU screen?

1st NZ Bde White Battleaxe on red background
2nd NZ Bde White Battleeaxe on green background
(1st NZ Div was White battleaxe on Black bacground for info)
 
 
3rd NZ Div was a white kiwi on black background
I would guess that 8th and 14th Bdes were also white kiwi on red and green background respectivelly
I think 15th NZ Bde was a yellow background
 
4th NZ Div was a white charging Bull on black background
2nd and 7th Bdes were red and green background respectivelly
 
5th NZ Div was a white keas head on black bacground
3rd 10th and 11th Bdes had respectivelly red yellow and green backgrounds
 
28th not sure

That would be great Andy!

Mark the colors, so I know which is which.
I can fill in the remainder.

Problem with the Japanese is that they all look the same.
Unit flags are just the rising sun (round circle or the one with rays) with some inscriptions.
In the uniform, they sometimes have collar patches with roman numerals indicating their unit's #.

Insignia of japanese armoredforces - http://www3.plala.or.jp/takihome/insignia.htm
It is more tactical but HQ marking is fine for the unit
