Those elephants are off the Barnes elephant tab. Eventually they made their way to Baraboo where they were used in the reconstruction of the wagon.

You can see the elephant carvings on top that came from the Al G. Barnes elephant Tableau. These carvings were given to the Circus World Museum where they re-created a new Al G. Barnes elephant tab with all new carvings.

If you'll look closely at Animal farms # 6, you'll see that Goebel's was also called Thousand Oaks and then became Jungleland. Louis Goebel was key in the acquisition of much of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus equipment after the 1938 closure on the west coast. Thus, a lot of the Hagenbeck-Wallace equipment found its way into many a movie after that.

In comparison, you see the same structure of the front for Goebel's Lion Farm survived through the Jungleland era--1956 to 1969. Prior to this, from 1946 to 1956, Billy Richards and Trader Horne operated the place as World Jungle Compound. That title can be seen in photos of this same front, between the same two Barnes elephants. Then, James Ruman and Sig Rogel, execs from 20th Century-Fox tried their hand at competing with Disneyland. Thanks to Walt, other places became somebody's "land". The movie boys failed, but their name Jungleland stuck to the bitter end.
