I've got a 1955 Sunbeam Alpine Mark III sitting in my garage. There is no
such badge on the car. I do seem to recall that there was another car with
a similar badge. Maybe it was the Rapier. In my book here at work, I can
make out a badge on a Rapier just behind the front wheels. But, I can't
see what it is. I also think that the center section was available
separately.

P.S. I don't know if you care, since it's not your car. But there is a
picture of Don Sesslar racing a pointy fin Alpine with the same paint job
as yours, numbered 74, in the "Tiger, Alpine, Rapier" book by Richard
Langworth.
