If you want to be really picky, there was another variant on the 55 mm
plastic badge with wreath.  Besides the "pin-back" badge used on the
grille, there was a "smooth-back" badge that was glued to the trunk lid on
some coupes and sedans (maybe spiders, too, I dunno).  These were made in
Milano and senza-Milano configurations.
