Unusual too in that it has the roundel on both lower wing surfaces.
I don’t agree. This roundel was the next step from the same one with the red dot in the middle and that too was placed on both wings on top and under.
Another one is here:
It was only when the bars were included the upper right and the lower left were lost. 😉 But I know that every rule has it’s exceptions. :very_drunk: And the Navy could have other regulations then the Air Force and…..
edit;
Finaly found a nice color pic of it
It looks as some had the yellow circle on the fuselage roundel and others on the wing roundel (adding more confusing to it)
Is this the explanation: 
as reply to your question in post # 2722, GERARD ;
CAF as in CAMEROON A/F ; seed the 3rd pic in post # 2711….!! ( a fine emblem…)

ok I see! Like the one in this Cameroon Air Force MA60
But the question now: Is it a roundel or some sort of Air Force Insignia / Emblem?
edit: add pic
as can be seen on this CN235 it is used together with the standard roundels so I guess not a roundel!
The RAF E-3D is unique in that it has a probe AND a receptacle – so it could use both (though I’m not sure if the crews have currency on both systems??)
I also used to think that the F-35 only had a boom receptacle – but ‘our’ version – the F-35B, has a probe.
So, presumably the F-35B (US Marines) and F-35C (US Navy) can also only use Probe-and-Drogue?

PS – Another thought….. there is much talk at the moment about the SAS and V-22 (preferred for its speed and range?) – but the Merlin helicopter also has (had?) a retractable boom – all it needs is a suitable (read slow) tanker.
Surely the A-400M could serve in that role – if it were so fitted out.
