It looks like a horse wearing a high-back Western saddle and cowboy
boots (at least I have never seen a hump that came with a belt before). It
appears to have the head off a giraffe ASCII and a body off of the "cows"
files ASCII... a girwow (Jeer-Wow), perhaps? ...or maybe the fabled
jorse?

You know I've _always_ had an uncertain feeling about that Sopwith
Camel - so I think your analysis may be very close and I am willing
to call it a G-Wow ( Gee-Wow ) which just might well be the origin
of that well-known expression " Gee ! Wow !! ".
So....
CD> Sopwith Camel ??
Nope, it's a G-Wow.
The original request was for Camels so after much searching I came
up with the following picture from Julian Visch and I have done a
few derivatives ( diddles ? ) :
