Here's a close-up of the marking "EH3" and what appears to be a gavel -- it could be a snow shovel, but I'm going with gavel. Eric still won't say anything about the unit they were made for, and I haven't been able to find anything online:

I was talking with another Marine and we figured EH is the tail code for a an aircraft squadron. So, we did a quick google search and came up with "Black Knights" helicopter squadron. They are a squadron of Osprey tiltrotor birds.

Here is an image from Vietnam with the tail code before they converted to Osprey.

I don't have any friends in an actual wing unit nor have I ever been attached to one. But this is my best guess. The 3 in the logo would probably designate some sub-unit designator.

JJ, or it might possibly be aircraft 3. Possibly part of the squadron use that as THEIR assigned aircraft. Don't know for sure, just another guess. As you said, a platoon of the squadron, sub-unit designator.
