I, too, saw this done a couple of times. Posing dead NVA/VC for a Kodak moment. Always thought it would bring bad luck. Didn't go for messing with the dead much. Superstitious Irishman.
The 101st sometimes issued us a deck of cards. They were all ace of spades, with the 101st Screaming Eagle on the back. We would leave them as calling cards on bodies. The ace of spades was supposedly a bad luck sign of sorts. Playing head games with Chuck. I don't know how good this worked. I don't think we intimidated them as much as we hoped. They usually seemed more than willing to bring the fight to us. Especially the NVA Regulars. Any other units do this?

Kill cards/death cards were used by many US combat units 1965-66. The attached gif file depicts a scan of one side of the kill card used by the Legendary Chinese Bandit Recon LRRP Team and Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav circa 1966.
