Triumph TR6 - Triumph Badge - Rear Apron

Slow time on the forum guys. Can anybody tell me if the TRIUMPH badge on the rear apron, white or silver on black background is correct for a '76 TR6. The standard location is above the right tail lamp. Mine must have been missing when I got the car and I simply never noticed. See pic below. I just ordered a stick-on TR6 grille emblem and that brought the apron badge to my attention. It's nice to be down to ordering little bits and pieces instead of major rebuild stuff for a change. Advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
P.S. Yes, my left brake lamp is out - the jack shifted in the trunk and knocked the socket off. The guy who took the pic had me pull over and fix it. The yellow light is the indicator flashing a left turn.

tail light ,by the way the single hoop roll over bar
look great.

For some reason I think because they put the "triumph" on the bumper it wasn't on a badge....otherwise it would a little silly with "triumph" twice on the back.

Hey, who's the guy on the corner? I think he owes me money.

Your left rear light and left trun signal are swapt.

Thanks for the comments guys. Makes perfect sense what JT says, might look kinda silly to have TRIUMPH repeated on the apron if it's already on the bumper. Hard to get good rear end shots from the web but the couple I confirmed that are definitely '76's do not have the TRIUMPH badge over the right tail lamp. Yes Malcolm, I'm pretty pleased with the single hoop bar; love the asymmetrical look and as Don says, "Ta hell with the passenger". Frig 'em if they can't take a joke but seriously, it's a style bar and ain't gonna hold up in a roll over.
Cheers,
Bob

The top rear of my XJS on the plinth says "Jaguar" then my License plate is an NFL plate that says "Jaguar" then my daughter has to go and buy me a plate frame that says...you guessed it "Jaguar" (I have to use it as she got it as a gift) now the rear of my "Jaguar" looks triple silly.
