Additionally, Clausager says that the early badges were silver on a dark blue 
background whereas the later badge had light blue on a silver background.   The 
later, single (the official Parts List is wrong when it states two) stick-on 
badge 
was always fitted to the passenger side.  Interestingly, the early badge was 
never 
used on exports to Arab counties as Leyland was persona no grata at that time.
