There was a Bat Guano in commercial entertainment, though.  Back in the
early 60's, on a San Francisco radio station, a guy who claimed to have
given Phyllis Diller her start (sorry, I forgot his name) did a
continuing farce (like Don Imus's stuff, but less trashy) called,

     "Bat Guano, Pride of the West, starring Lance Boyle and Luce
     Morales."

* 
* In other words, Sellers was making fun of the guy's name, which
* wasn't actually "Bat Guano".

No, the Colonel had his name visible on his uniform.  Mandrake's line was

  "... see here, Col. Bat Guano, if that really is your name, ..."
