On the SP the "Bloody Nose" scheme was applied to locomotives, but was it applied to other equipment, cabooses and other rolling stock? I have seen a photo of a tank car in the scheme, I think it was in a fuel tender service. Thanks ahead of time!

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough!
Not that I am aware of, just the diesels and as noted, there was an experimental fuel tender that received the scarlet with wings on the ends, but it was not a successful venture.

Nope.

Most railroad locomotive nose schemes are only for locomotives. Santa Fe Warbonnets and Cigar Bands, Lehigh Valley Wings, NYC Lightning Stripes, and so on, and so on.
Sometimes the striping pattern is carried to the passenger cars and tender, but the nose is for the nose.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
The bloody nose paint scheme was applied to 14 TEBU slugs #1600-1613 and yard slugs #1010-1013. The bloody nose paint scheme was also applied to the Camera Car #8799 which used to be a Krauss Maffei locomotive.

You've been trying to sell your two cents worth there for a long long time. Time for a new siggy? The old one is getting worn out.

SSW9389, to be fair, your examples are all diesel-type "car body" type units so it is logical, fitting and unsurprising that the bloody nose paint was used.
The OP as asking about "other equipment" it seem he was talkiing about non-engine carbody type rolling stock - by his examples including cabooses and the one major example, the fuel tank car.
On the picture of the fuel tender, I thought the wings were upside down. I thought the long part of the wings went on the top.
Then I googled images of the Southern Pacific Bloody Nose, and it turns out I was wrong.
I would have sworn they went the other way. Weird how something that is correct can look so wrong.
