Q & A: Interior Badge Placement

Dear John Twist,

My question for you is not really for that section but just a question to you. It is not really technical.

At Triple C Motor Accessories www.triple-c.com they have two badges that were mounted on the dash of cars from University Motors in London. There is a rectangular badge, which apparently was mounted with two screws,
since it has the holes for it. Then there is a round badge, which must have been glued on, since it doesn't have holes for screws.

1. I assuem the two badges are from different times: Which badge went on the early (pull handle) MGB's, and on which models did the other badge go?

2. Exactly where was the badge mounted? I assume that it was probably placed on the lid of the glove compartment (?), but was it on the lower half or the upper half, left part or right part?

I realize that the badges may have been mounted randomly by whoever mechanic happened to put the finishing touches on the car, but perhaps there were some sort of guidelines or a place where they put it more often
than others.

Hope you can help me with this little mystery!

Safety Fast!

Jens.
