The winged cherubs on the lid of the covenant box which sat in the holy of holies beneath the two greater winged chrebs, are the representaion of the chariot of God. In what form were they depicted?

Your question is a little confusing.... what do you mean "the winged cherubs... which sat ... beneath the two greater winged cherubs"

My understanding is there was only one set (pair) of cherubs on the lid of the ark of the convenant (covenant box). To what are you refering to when you speak about the winged cherubs beneath the greater cherubs?

[S-word's Response]........ It is only confusing to those from whom the truth of scripture has been hidden.

1st Kings 6: 23-28; Two winged creatures were made of olive wood and placed in the Most Holy Place. (It was beneath the wings of these two greater cherubs that the ark of the covenant with the two lesser cherubs on its lid, was situated within the Holy of Holies.)

Each one was 15 feet high. Both were of the same size and shape etc, etc, etc.
