I can't speak to the design of the original badge however when you are looking at stuff like this from the 60's, the emblems look like a half-assed attempt. Poor casting / molding, inconsistent coloring and will also have a worn / patina look due to age. If you're going for an authentic look, the top emblem. If you're going for a real clean, beautiful look, the bottom emblem. Personally, I'd rather go for the pristine, beautiful look over the "battle scarred" look.
