I guess normally one uses the Wildebeest icon for this compound.

I never have, and I created this piece. Also, the diagrams on this page use the knightcamel piece.

Usually we don't have any black SVG

We do as of today, because I made them with showpiece.php.

since the fill color can so easily be adapted to anything.

Having individual pieces of each color can spare the need to call a script to generate pieces for one side, and it makes things easier for people who are liable to prefix all their black pieces with b in a custom set.

Only for piece sets that have their black pieces really black we have separate symbols, as filling with black would make the inner lines invisible.

That's not true. All the original GIF pieces and their PNG replacements have separate white and black pieces regardless of how the black pieces are colored.
