Star of David at Guadacanal

Here's one for the grogs...
I'm reading John Miller's 'Guadacanal: the first offensive'. In it there is a picture of several Marines driving a jeep across a makeshift pontoon bridge spanning the Tenaru river. The bridge consists of a wooden framework atop two amphibian tractors. One of those tractors has what appears to be the Star of David painted on the cab.
My question is: What outfit used the Star of David as it's units ID?
