I agree, except for the one found in germany, those animal heads looked more like dogs or wolves but those standards are usually refered to as Draco (Dragon) standards...  They are called like that only because Europeans decided to call them so, but it doesn't mean that they originally were called dragons or depicted the dragons. |

maybe Draco was the name Sarmatians or others used for their Dogs or Wolfs. Dragons are not common in european mythology at all, especially before the middle ages.

Here is another sample found on Romanian banknote. This one is closer in shape to a wolf.  The Dacian Draco:  The earliest evidence of the Draco in Dacia was found on 4th century BC pottery discovered in the Prahova county of Romania. On Trajan's Column the Dacian soldiers are often represented carrying a Dacian Draco: there are no less than 20 representations of the Draco. the Dacians have adopted the Draco from the Sarmatians and Alans, cavalry peoples of the steppes. The only copy left was found in Germany, which was probably a trophy won by the Roman troops from the wars with the Dacians. After the Dacian wars the draco was adopted by Roman cavalry. |

Maybe its neither a dragon nor a wolf, but a combination of animals. The 12 animal Turkic calendar comes to my mind.

 Found this wolf figure. It was found in Kyrgyz territory. It represents stars, the Sun and the moon. |
